Florida basketball nets three players on All-SEC teams. Here's who was honored
Florida basketball starting point Zyon Pullin earned first-team honors, while guard Walter Clayton earned second team honors and forward Alex Condon made the all-freshman team as the Southeastern Conference announced its all-league teams on Monday.
The teams were selected based on votes from all 14 SEC coaches.
Pullin's 4.38 assist-to-turnover ratio ranks second nationally. He's averaged 15.0 points per game for the Florida Gators while ranking second in the SEC in assists at 5.0.
Clayton leads UF in scoring at 17.0 points per game, and his 12 20-point games this season are the most by a Florida player since Kenny Boynton posted 13 in 2011-12.

As a backcourt duo, Pullin and Clayton’s combined 32.7 points per game are the most by two Florida players since Anthony Roberson and Matt Walsh got to 33.7 in 2003-04.
A 6-foot-11 forward from Perth, Australia, Condon leads all SEC freshmen with 6.5 rebounds per game and 38 blocked shots. He's the only Florida freshman in the 2000s to post multiple 15-rebound games and is UF's first frontcourt SEC all-freshman honoree since Patric Young in 2010-11.
