In case you have not heard, Kentucky men’s basketball received a commitment from Bucknell graduate transfer Nate Sestina on Thursday. Here’s what BBN needs to know about the versatile Sestina:
He is measured at 6’9 and 245 pounds, but his versatility is his most important characteristic. Sestina naturally scores in the post, but can also step out and score on the perimeter.
This is the kind of versatility that Calipari has largely been lacking the last few seasons from his forwards. PJ Washington did a great job developing his game into both scoring in the post and on the perimeter, but for the most part, Calipari does not bring in these 2-way scorers.
