Julyan Ray Stone (born December 7, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for Reyer Venezia of the Italian Lega Basket Serie A (LBA). He played college basketball for the University of Texas at El Paso.

Early life

Stone was born on December 7, 1988, in Alexandria, Virginia to David and Janet Stone. He has three siblings; his brother J.T. played college football at West Texas A&M University, while his brother Jason played collegiately at San Diego State University. Stone attended Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, California, where he was a member of the varsity basketball team for four seasons. As a senior, he averaged 17 points, 8.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 5.7 steals. After the season, he was considered a top 200 recruit by HOOP Scoop Online heading into college.[1]

College career

Stone was rated as a two-star recruit by Rivals.com and was recruited by both the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and the University of Portland. On May 4, 2007, he accepted the scholarship offer from UTEP.[2] In his freshman season at UTEP, he averaged 2.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.6 steals, per game. He finished the season with 52 steals, second most on the team. He also finished with 114 assists and 50 turnovers, making his assist–to–turnover ratio 2.28, which was the best ratio for any freshman in all of college basketball that season.[1]

As a sophomore, Stone finished the season with 5.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. He also recorded 236 assists, which led the team and became the first player in UTEP Miners' history to record over 100 assists in both their freshman and sophomore seasons. Stone also became the leader in most double-figure assist games with six. During the post-season, he set a College Basketball Invitational record with 45 assists, recording eight against Nevada, 10 against Oregon State in the first game between the two teams and then nine in game two against Oregon State.[1]

During his junior season at UTEP, Stone averaged 6.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. Against Arkansas State University, he recorded ten points, seven rebounds, and eight assists, almost becoming the second player in UTEP history to record a triple-double. Against East Carolina, he recorded a season-high 11 assists. For the first time in his collegiate career, UTEP made it into the NCAA Tournament. In their only game of the tournament, Stone scored eight points, grabbed five rebounds, recorded seven assists, and stole the ball twice. The Miners wound up losing the game to the Butler Bulldogs, 77–59. Butler eventually made it all the way to the championship game against the Duke Blue Devils, only to lose 61–59. Following the season, he was named to the Conference USA All–Defensive team.[1]

As a senior, Stone finished the season averaging 8.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.[3] In an article about the Legends Classic, a regular season tournament that UTEP participated in, Sports Illustrated writer Seth Davis commented that, "I also liked what I saw out of 6-7 senior point guard Julyan Stone, though I'm mystified as to why he has not developed more of an offensive game. If he did, he'd be a surefire pro."[4]

On February 5, 2011, in a conference game against the Rice Owls, Stone recorded a career-high 23 points, making seven of his nine shots and nine out of ten free throws. After the game, Rice head coach Ben Braun said that his team, "let Stone get to the rim and he made big plays."[5] In his final career game at UTEP, Stone recorded one assist, which brought his career total to 714, the most in UTEP and Conference USA history by a single player.[6] He was later named to the Conference USA All-Defensive team for a second straight season, as well as the Conference USA All-Conference second team.[3]
