John Calipari celebrates Nate Sestina signing with Nets

The Brooklyn Nets may have only made one selection in the 2020 NBA draft, but they did pick up a second player from the pool of draftees.

The 2020 NBA draft was a busy one for the Brooklyn Nets even though they only added one player from the pool of 60 who were selected on Wednesday.

The Nets sent the No. 19 pick — which turned into Villanova wing Saddiq Bey — to Detroit as part of the three-way trade that delivered Landry Shamet to Brooklyn and Luke Kennard to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Then, after the Nets selected Jay Scrubb with the No. 55 pick, Brooklyn also sent the 6-foot-6 guard to Detroit, in exchange for the 57th selection in the draft, 6-foot-10 Mississippi State forward Reggie Perry.

But Perry wasn’t Brooklyn’s final addition on Wednesday.

Director of scouting for the Pro Bball Combine Jon Chepkevich tweeted the Nets are signing Kentucky stretch four Nate Sestina on an Exhibit-10 contract.

Former Nets head coach, now Kentucky head coach, John Calipari was among those who were excited to hear the 6-foot-9 Sestina is getting a shot with Brooklyn.

Sestina joined Kentucky as a graduate transfer after four years at Bucknell. He shot 40.7% from deep for the Wildcats after shooting 38% from three in his final year in the Patriot League.
