One of the standouts this season in the NBA D-League for the Sixers affiliate, Sean Kilpatrick, is reportedly set to sign a contract with the Nets. Brooklyn freed up roster space this week after agreeing to buyout deals with Andrea Bargnani and Joe Johnson
Hear Sean Kilpatrick is expected to sign with the Nets. Thought the #Twolves should've pursued. Best wing in the D-League.
