Strengths:
Perry is one of the fastest rising prospects in the national class of 2018. He's strong and athletic with a chiseled frame and the ability to elevate through traffic. He is a good finisher who both gets up above the cup with authority as well as he does make tough lay-ups around the rim. He's got a nice natural touch both in the paint and in the mid-range area and shows flashes of being able to extend his range out to the three-point line. He's at his best in the open floor and probably most comfortable at the high post in a half-court game, but even shows some potential putting the ball on the floor for one or two hard bounces. He's a two-hand rebounder in traffic, capable of getting second chance points with either hand offensively and a potentially versatile interior defender.

Weaknesses:
While Perry is rapidly improving, he's still very much a work in progress. His offense game is continuing to evolve and as such still lacks a certain level of polish. He has a wealth of tools but is in the process of turning those into true weapons. Defensively, his combination of physical strength and quick feet is at the highest level but like most young players he doesn't yet maximize his potential on that end of the floor on a consistent basis.

Bottom Line:
Perry is an undeniable talent and a definite riser in the class of 2018. With his powerful frame, mobility, athleticism and consistently developing skill package, his upside is very high as he continues to turn potential into consistent production.
