The Rhode Island native was one of the targets his teammates looked for when the team needed a basket, as he recorded double-digits in 18 games. He also recorded a 20-point and a 30-point game this year.

Perez’s season-high in points came on the last game of the season in a 90-81 win over Dominican (N.Y.) on February 28th, recording 33 points. He made 10 of his 19 shots, drained six of his 11 attempts from the three-point line, and hit seven of his eight free throw shots in the game.

On the defensive side, opposing players hated to see him coming toward their shot, as he was fourth on the team in blocks, with 0.3 per game. He recorded a season-high of two blocks in three games this year.

Perez averaged 11.5 points per game, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.3 blocks in 28 games.
