Perry is the only member of the Nets' 2020 draft class but not the team's only acquisition of the evening.
Brooklyn traded for Clippers guard Landry Shamet in a three-team deal with the Detroit Pistons, who acquired the Nets' No. 19 overall pick, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Pistons guard Luke Kennard is headed to L.A.
Perry averaged a double-double last year with 17.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. Thanks largely to his efforts, the Bulldogs won 20 games and finished fourth in the SEC.
