Jaron Rillie

Will get his first opportunity in the NBL as a development player at the Perth Wildcats with his dad as coach but has earned this opportunity on merit with a terrific college career.

His father John is coaching him at the Wildcats on the back of his own decorated NBL playing career, but he has earned the chance through his own performances and hard work.

Started his college career at Samford University before transferring to the University of Northern Colorado ahead of the 2023/24 season.

By his senior year he delivered 12.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists while shooting the three ball at 41 per cent ahead of now beginning life as a pro with the Wildcats as a development player.
