John Calipari has traditionally played lineups involving the core five positions, which would include one power forward and one center. Well, for potentially an entire month, the Kentucky Wildcats starting power forward Nate Sestina will be out.
Sestina gave size down low, secured rebounds and was able to pound the paint on both sides of the court. The grad transfer from Bucknell has averaged 7.3 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
Now, they’ll do without him, and they may opt to play three guards, Kahlil Whitney and then either a EJ Montgomery or Nick Richards.
