Further details regarding the deal were not included, but Pullen could be coming over on a training camp deal.
Jacob Pullen, who is a dual citizen of the USA and Georgia, went undrafted in 2011 after starring for four years at Kansas State. He was a big-time scorer in college. He averaged 19 and 20 points in his final two years at Manhattan and left as the school's all-time leading scorer.
Pullen, 28, has spent the past six seasons playing over in Europe, particularly the Spanish and Italian leagues. He most recently played with Russian team Khimki last season, but was released in July after playing in 17 games during the Eurocup tournament and averaging 10.3 points and 2.5 assists in 18 minutes per game.
After not re-signing Sergio Rodriguez this offseason, the Sixers' point guard depth chart is currently comprised of rookie Markelle Fultz with T.J. McConnell as his primary backup. However, the Sixers also plan on playing incoming rookie Ben Simmons at point guard this season.
