Expert Analysis
Will Armishaw | Prep Hoops Scout
Perry, who had a solid junior season at MacDuffie, is one of New England’s most impressive vertical athletes at the forward position. A pogo-stick around the rim, there are few, if any, athletes in the region that are as impressive as Perry. He has a great frame; he’s lean with long arms and looks as if he’ll be able to add muscle at the next level. He does a great job as a shot blocker of not leaving his feet early and high pointing the ball. His length, and athleticism, allows him to be particularly disruptive around the rim defensively. Offensively, he’s a highlight reel waiting to him and is as aggressive of an offensive rebounder as we’ve seen. He, again, has good timing and instincts and can finish way above the rim on putback attempts. He runs the floor well, has solid hands, and can score with ease in the paint. He’s solidified himself as a mid-major prospect and should have plenty of east coast schools in the gym this fall.

Perry is maybe the most raw player on Expressions Elite 17u, but that makes him an incredibly exciting long-term prospect. He’s the best leaper on the team — he literally gets his head at the rim when he jumps — and that allows him to be a lob threat offensively and a rim protector defensively. However, the skills and body for Perry are definitely still a work in progress; he can’t do much with the ball in his hands and he has trouble defending stronger players in the post with his skinny frame. Once Perry learns how to play a bit more and puts on some weight, he could have a fairly rapid improvement arc and quickly become a high-major prospect. Definitely keep an eye on Perry’s development over the next year — he could begin to look a lot different soon. At the least, Perry is a rim-running, rim-protecting center who can play at the D1 level.

Perry was the best frontcourt athlete I saw this weekend. The 6-foot-10 big gets his head at the rim when he jumps and is the best shot-blocking big at the showcase as a result. He has a lighting-quick second jump and long arms, too, which makes him an ideal rim protector. The offensive skills and coordination are still coming, but you’ll be seeing Perry on TV somewhere.

Perry is a pogo stick athlete who has good shot blocking ability and runs the floor really well. For the most part he will score around the basket and off put backs but shows flashes of being able to space the floor as well.

Perry is an intriguing pogo-stick athlete with a 6-foot-11 wingspan that lets him challenge most shots around the rim. He shows good understanding of how to challenge a shot without fouling and keeping the ball in play when he does block it. Offensively he did damage as the roll man and finished a number of plays with dunks that he got off the floor quickly for.
