Jock Henry Perry (born 20 May 1997) is an Australian professional basketball player for the Casey Cavaliers of NBL1 South. He played college basketball for the Saint Mary's Gaels and the UC Riverside Highlanders.
Early life and career
[edit]Perry grew up in Seddon, Victoria and came from a tall family, although his height resulted in breaking 13 different bones. His level of insulin growth hormone was found to be twice that of a normal person's, and a brain scan revealed a tumour on his pituitary gland. A month later, the tumour was removed and found to be benign.[1] Perry was a relative latecomer to basketball, though his height provided an advantage. He arrived at the Australian Institute of Sport Centre of Excellence in 2013, and sustained knee and hand injuries.[2] Perry played against future Saint Mary's teammate Jock Landale once as a teenager, helping to score an upset win.[3] In 2016, Perry signed with the Melbourne Tigers of the South East Australian Basketball League. He committed to play college basketball at Saint Mary's.[4]
College career
[edit]Perry redshirted his true freshman season. He played sparingly during his three seasons at Saint Mary's. As a junior, Perry averaged 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.[5] Following the season, he transferred to UC Riverside as a graduate transfer.[6] On 1 December 2020, Perry scored a career-high 21 points in a 57–42 win against Washington.[7] In the semifinals of the Big West Tournament, he posted 16 points and a career-high 10 rebounds against UC Irvine. As a senior, Perry averaged 11.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. He was named Honorable Mention All-Big West.[8]
Professional career
[edit]On 22 April 2021, Perry signed with the Ballarat Miners of the NBL1 South.[9] On 17 August, Perry signed with the Tasmania JackJumpers as a development player for the 2021–22 NBL season.[10]
National team career
[edit]Perry has represented Australia in several international tournaments. He played for the U17 team in the 2013 FIBA Oceania Championships, averaging 2.7 points and 2 rebounds per game. Perry was selected as a reserve player in the 2015 FIBA Oceania U19 Championship.[11] In 2019, he helped Australia win bronze at the Summer Universiade in Italy.[12]
