Jock Perry signs with Ballarat Miners

Basketball Ballarat has announced that Jock Perry has put pen to paper for the 2021 NBL1 South Season.

Returning from college basketball playing at UC Riverside, Perry will provide some additional height to the roster, which Miners Head Coach Brendan Joyce was thrilled about.

"We are really excited to obtain Jock as he is coming off a great year at college starting for UC Riverside and averaging 11 points and five rebounds," Joyce said.

"He is going to bring some much-needed height to the team along with some sharp shooting for a 7 footer."

It’s Perry’s flexibility on the court that Joyce highlighted and the ability to work well with other big man Deng Acuoth.

"He is a smart player to go along with his versatility and skill package and this will allow him to play inside and outside," Joyce said.

"Jock and Deng will provide a great unique interior presence and target for our team and also support for each other with their ability to play both five and four positions."

Jock Perry joins Zac Dunmore, Jordan Lingard, Daniel Joyce, Matt Kenyon, William Hickey, Ethan Fiegert, Will Hynes, Broden Collins and Deng Acuoth as announced players on the Ballarat Miners roster.

This weekend, the Ballarat Miners and Rush will travel to Tasmania to take on Hobart before traveling north with Launceston and North West Tasmania hosting the teams.
