The Five Best Quotes from the John Calipari Show

#2: Nate Sestina

Nate Sestina adds a new dimension to this year’s Wildcats squad. He can pick-and-pop the three-point shot and adds new levels of maturity and leadership to the young team. In the long-term, Kentucky will need the graduate transfer to shine.

Of Sestina’s growth and recent performance, Cal says:

“He’s such a big part of this, based on the fact that he’s a leader on this team. He kind of took a step back last game. He made a couple shots, but he didn’t play as well as he had been playing. I told him, I didn’t like the look that he had. I told him that we need him. We need him to make shots, we need him to rebound. When we played on the road down in Georgia, every tough rebound late, he was grabbing. How about the tough shot he made? Ball fake, one dribble pull-up? That was a big play. It kind of spread the game out.”
