Low-usage Rice forward with early flashes of rim protection
Perkins is a sophomore forward at Rice whose value right now is more about energy and defense than scoring volume: in the 2024-25 season he appeared in limited minutes, but still posted a few impactful box-score moments, including two blocks in his season-opener and a first career start on Senior Day. He looks like a role-player fit rather than a featured option—someone who can defend, rebound in short bursts, and give you physical minutes without needing touches.
