Early life and career

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

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

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

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]
