REPORTS: NC State Basketball Talent Gets Acrobatic, Saved His Best Performance For Las Vegas.

After appearing in just 11 games over two seasons on a two-way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, undrafted NC State basketball guard Dereon Seabron (2020-22) needed to make a strong impression at this month’s NBA 2K25 Summer League in Las Vegas.

So, the 24-year-old Virginia native signed a Summer League deal with the Chicago Bulls, aiming to prove himself worthy of a new contract in the league.

There has been no report of such a contract for next season so far. Seabron wasn’t very impactful in the Bulls’ first four games in Las Vegas, as he sat out two of them and only scored a total of eight points in 42 minutes off the bench in the other two.

However, on Saturday, Seabron made a notable impact in Chicago’s last Summer League game, despite a 107-81 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, which featured NC State basketball big man Mohamed Diarra, who finished with seven points and three rebounds.

The 6-foot-7 Seabron scored a team-high 18 points in the game, making 5-of-9 shots from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the arc, and 6-of-8 free throws. He also contributed four rebounds and five assists in his 23 minutes on the court, the most by any bench player.

One of his baskets was highlighted by the Chicago Bulls’ social media team as the “most acrobatic layup you’ll see today.”

Last season, Dereon Seabron averaged 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in just six games for the Pelicans. However, his G League stats were impressive: 17.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game for the Birmingham Squadron.
