BIO: Growing up in Seddon, Jock Perry came from a tall family, but his rapid growth led to repeated injuries, including 13 broken bones, before medical testing identified unusually elevated insulin-like growth hormone levels and a tumour on his pituitary gland.
After a scan located the tumour, he underwent surgery within a month and it was removed via a procedure through the nostril, with the tumour later confirmed as benign, allowing him to return his focus to basketball development after the health scare.
A relative latecomer to the sport, he joined the Australian Institute of Sport Centre of Excellence pathway in 2013 (U16) and dealt with knee and hand injuries, while also spending three years at the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence.
During his junior years he graduated from Lake Ginninderra College in 2015, helped Victoria’s regional team win national junior championships in 2012, 2013 and 2015, and at the 2015 U20 Australian Junior Championships he averaged 11.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, including 10 points and eight rebounds in the final.
He also represented Australia in age-group competition, playing on national junior teams that won the FIBA U16 Oceania titles in 2012 and 2013, was selected as a reserve for the U19 squad at the 2014 Oceania Championships, and he later committed to play college basketball at Saint Mary’s College of California after his development years.
As a teenager, Perry faced future teammate Jock Landale in a game that ended in an upset win for Perry’s side, an early meeting that foreshadowed their later connection in the United States. Perry received a scholarship to attend the Australian Institute of Sport (Canberra) in 2013. He spent three years year there and played for the program’s state league team (2013, 2014, 2015).
FAMILY: Son of Lincoln and Joanne Perry. Has one brother, George
NBL EXPERIENCE
Jock Perry made his NBL debut with the Tasmania JackJumpers at 24 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
Perry signed to play with the Tasmania JackJumpers as a development player in their debut season which began with low expectations as multiple betting agencies gave them 400:1 odds to take out the NBL championship.
In their NBL debut on 3 December 2021, the JackJumpers defeated the Brisbane Bullets 83–74 in overtime at MyState Bank Arena in Hobart but it was a slow start from them on for the ants.
Heading into round 8 the team had won only one more game and sat in ninth spot with a record of 2-6 record. A season ending injury suffered by marquee signing Will Magnay made things even more difficult and forced the head coach Scott Roth to change their game plan from relying on perimeter shooting to a much more well rounded approach. The move paid off and the team rounded out their season with 10 wins from their last 12 games, finishing with a 17–11 record and fifth spot on the ladder.
Perry and the JackJumpers weren’t done however as in true Cinderella fashion, thanks to the South East Melbourne Phoenix beating the Perth Wildcats in the last game of the season, Tasmania overtook Perth to finish in fourth place thanks to points percentage.
Perry would be elevated into the lineup to fill some of the gap left by Magnay and finished the season with averages of 1.9 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.6 assists as the JackJumpers drew the reigning champions and first-placed Melbourne United in the semifinals where again they were not expected to fare well.
Tasmania would lose game one to Melbourne on their home court (74-63), before returning the favour on their home court to even the series (1-1). Heading into the deciding game three a additional stroke of luck befell the team with United Captain Chris Goulding unable to play in game three due to injury. Tasmania would take control in the games final moments, defeating Melbourne in a nail-biter (76-73) to advance to the Grand Final series.
The Sydney Kings defeated the Illawarra Hawks 2-0 on the opposite side of the finals bracket and maintained their strong form, defeating Tasmania in Game one of the Grand Final series 95-78.
Game two saw JackJumpers fan favourite Josh Adams erupt for 36 points in front of a sell-out Tasmanian crowd, but thanks to 20 point efforts from both captain Xavier Cooks and Jarell Martin (who shot 80% from the field) as well as Dejan Vasiljevic, who nailed a long range dagger in the closing minutes clinched game two for the Kings, 90-86. The win was Sydney’s 12th straight road game victory – the most away wins ever during a single NBL season.

The Kings then closed out the series in game three, ending their 17-year championship drought in front of 16,000 fans at Qudos Bank Arena. Xavier Cooks and Jarell Martin would combine for 45 points and 29 rebounds, and the Kings won their 19th win of their final 21 games.
