Career highlights and awards

Bryce Jiron Cotton (born August 11, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for the Perth Wildcats of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball for the Providence Friars, where he was a two-time first-team All-Big East honoree. He joined the Austin Spurs in 2014 before splitting the next two years in the NBA and NBA Development League, and spending time in China and Turkey. He spent the back-end of the 2014–15 season with the Utah Jazz and had short stints with the Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies during the 2015–16 season. In January 2017, he arrived in Australia to play for the Wildcats. Two months later, he guided Perth to the NBL Championship behind a Grand Final MVP performance. He continued on with the Wildcats for the 2017–18 season, and in February 2018, he was named the NBL Most Valuable Player.

Early life

Growing up in Tucson, Arizona, Cotton loved sport. One of his biggest deficiencies however was his lack of height. As a result, Cotton worked with his uncle, former NFL player David Adams, for an edge to combat taller opponents. Cotton's parents separated when he was a toddler and his father worked as a police officer on the other side of the country. Money was tight and Adams often provided them with financial assistance during tough times.[1] His grandmother, Mary, helped raise Cotton and his brother Justin while their mother worked in real estate.[1]

Cotton attended Palo Verde High School in Tucson. As a senior in 2009–10, Cotton helped lead Palo Verde to a 24–7 record and a berth in the state 4A semifinals. He averaged 23.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.7 steals per game as a senior,[2] and scored 30 or more points nine times, including a career-high 40-point effort in an 85–82 win over Buckeye on February 16, 2010. He also set a school record for the highest triple-double with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists against Rio Rico on December 11, 2009. He earned First Team All-City and First Team All-State honors in 2010.[3]

Cotton was not highly recruited out of high school.[4] He received some interest from a number of junior colleges as well as a Houston Baptist program that had just made the jump to Division I. However, Cotton was one of three players fighting for Houston Baptist's one available scholarship and the program ultimately chose to go in another direction.[5]

College career

Freshman season

Cotton's family could not afford to pay for college tuition and his scholarship dream looked over until Providence College made an offer just three days before freshman orientation.[1] After reportedly signing with Miami Dade College on August 18, 2010,[6] Cotton instead committed to the Providence Friars on August 30.[2][5] He scored 15 points in the Friars' season opener against Dartmouth on November 13, 2010.[3] In 31 games as a freshman, Cotton averaged 4.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game.[7]

Sophomore season

As a sophomore in 2011–12, Cotton became a starter and was the team's second leading scorer, averaging 14.3 points per game while shooting 37.9 percent from three-point range.[7][8] On December 10, 2011, Cotton scored 20 of his career-high 34 points in the first half of the Friars' 72–61 win over Bryant.[9] He went 11-of-16 from the field with a perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line against Bryant.[3] He later scored 27 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, with a perfect 5-of-5 from three-point range and 10-of-12 from the free throw line against Louisville on January 10, 2012.[3][5]

Junior season

Despite reports of Cotton leaving Providence following his sophomore season,[8][10] he continued on with the Friars in 2012–13.

Following a breakout sophomore year, Cotton came into his junior season still in the shadows of senior point guard Vincent Council. Cotton was forced to step into the forefront for Providence to make up for injuries in the backcourt to Council and highly touted freshman guard Kris Dunn.[11] Cotton also had to take on a leadership role with a young team.[11] He registered his first career double-double with 24 points and 11 rebounds against Bryant on November 12, 2012. He scored a season-high 33 points and was 7-of-14 from three-point territory against Boston College on December 22, 2012.[3] He led the Big East Conference in scoring with 18.3 points per game, becoming the fifth Friar all-time to lead the league in scoring.[12] He subsequently earned first-team All-Big East honors.[12] In total, Cotton averaged 19.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 37.8 minutes per game over 32 games.[7]

Senior season

To conclude the 2013–14 regular season, Cotton was the only player in the nation to average more than 40 minutes per game (40.1), having averaged 41.9 minutes in Big East competition.[4] His high minutes per game stems from Providence's six overtime games, four of which went to a second overtime. In those four double-overtime outings, Cotton played 200 minutes of a possible 200 minutes.[13] His tireless play carried the Friars to their best season in a decade, as they headed into the Big East Tournament with a 20–11 record.[4] After going 3–0 in the Big East Tournament, the Friars reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004.[4] It marked Providence's first Big East Tournament title since 1994, while Cotton was selected the tournament MVP.[14][15] In Providence's 79–77 loss to North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament, Cotton scored a career-high 36 points.[16] In 35 games as a senior, Cotton averaged 21.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game.[7] He subsequently earned first-team All-Big East honors for the second straight season,[17] as well as the AP Honorable Mention All-America Team. He finished his career ranked fourth all-time in scoring at Providence (1,975 points),[18] and became the fifth player from a major conference to average 20-plus points and five-or-more assists in a season since 2002.[19]

On February 24, 2015, Cotton signed a 10-day contract with the Utah Jazz.[19] He made his NBA debut three days later, recording three points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal in just under seven minutes off the bench in a 104–82 win over the Denver Nuggets.[24] He signed a second 10-day contract with the Jazz on March 6,[25] and a multi-year deal on March 16.[26] Over the final four games of the season, he averaged 14.3 points per game, scoring in double figures all four times, including a season-high 21 points against the Dallas Mavericks on April 13.[27] In 15 games for the Jazz in 2014–15, he averaged 5.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10.6 minutes per game.[27]

After playing for the Jazz during the Summer League and preseason, Cotton was waived by Utah on October 20, 2015.[28] He subsequently re-joined the Austin Spurs for the 2015–16 season.[29] On November 25, 2015, after four games with Austin, Cotton signed with the Phoenix Suns.[23] Cotton's long-awaited debut for the Suns came over a month later on December 30, following injuries to Eric Bledsoe and Ronnie Price. He scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting in a 112–79 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.[30] He also had three steals and two assists in just over 21 minutes off the bench.[31] Cotton appeared in the Suns' next two games before being waived on January 7, 2016.[32] Five days later, he returned to the Austin Spurs.[33] After appearing in two more games, he parted ways with Austin to sign with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association.[34][35] In nine games for Xinjiang, he averaged 21.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.

On April 1, 2016, Cotton signed a 10-day contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.[36] On April 11, he signed with the Grizzlies for the remainder of the 2015–16 regular season.[37] He appeared in five games for the Grizzlies before parting ways with the team prior to the start of the playoffs.[38]

After playing for the Atlanta Hawks during the 2016 NBA Summer League,[39] Cotton signed with Turkish club Anadolu Efes on August 27, 2016.[40][41] On December 12, 2016, Anadolu Efes agreed to terminate its contract with Cotton after he returned home due to family health reasons.[42][43] He later cited that the country's safety concerns played a part in him leaving.[44]

By late December 2016, reports surfaced of Cotton's move to Australia to join the Perth Wildcats for the rest of the 2016–17 NBL season.[45][46] On January 3, 2017, the Wildcats made the signing official.[47] Cotton set a Wildcats scoring record on debut with a 26-point haul against the Sydney Kings on January 7, eclipsing James Ennis' 25 points in 2013.[48][49] In his fifth game for the Wildcats on January 20, Cotton scored a season-high 27 points in an 84–78 overtime win over the Cairns Taipans.[50] In late January, Cotton committed to remaining with the Wildcats for the rest of the season after a rejecting a 10-day contract from the Atlanta Hawks.[51] On February 3, he scored a game-high 25 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including five three-pointers, in a 94–63 win over the Brisbane Bullets.[52] In the Wildcats' regular season finale on February 12, Cotton scored 19 points in a 96–94 win over Melbourne United.[53] The win propelled the Wildcats into the finals as they finished the regular season in third place with a 15–13 record. At 22.09 points per game, Cotton ousted Casper Ware (22.06) for the NBL's regular season scoring champion.[54]

In Game 1 of the Wildcats' best-of-three semi-final series against the second-seeded Taipans in Cairns on February 17, Cotton had a 34-point effort to lead his team to a 91–69 win. His 34 points were the most scored by a Wildcat in a post-season game since Shawn Redhage had 35 in 2008.[55] He also had a team-high five assists and three steals.[56] Cotton scored nine points in Game 2 in Perth three days later, as the Wildcats defeated the Taipans 74–66 to sweep the series and move on to the NBL Grand Final.[57] The Wildcats went on to sweep the best-of-five grand final series, defeating the Illawarra Hawks 3–0 behind a Grand Final MVP performance from Cotton. Over the three games, Cotton averaged 27.7 points, which included a 45-point effort in a 95–86 title-clinching win in Game 3. He shot 12-of-17 from the field, 7-of-12 from three-point range, and 14-of-15 from the free throw line in Game 3, with his 45 points setting the new all-time NBL Grand Final scoring record.[58][59][60] In 16 games for the Wildcats, he averaged 23.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

2017–18 season: NBL MVP and Club MVP

After attempting to re-enter the NBA via minicamps and the Summer League,[61] Cotton made the decision to return to Perth, re-signing with the Wildcats for 2017–18 NBL season on July 14, 2017.[62] Cotton was considered a long-shot to re-join the Wildcats and reportedly turned down an offer from Spanish club Unicaja Málaga.[63]

In the Wildcats' season opener on October 7, Cotton scored a game-high 24 points in a 96–86 win over the Brisbane Bullets.[64] On November 9, he scored a game-high 26 points in an 88–84 loss to the New Zealand Breakers.[65] On December 10, he scored a season-high 36 points in a 99–91 win over the Illawarra Hawks, moving the Wildcats to atop the NBL ladder with a 10–3 record.[66] The Wildcats dropped to 13–9 following two horror losses to the Sydney Kings in Round 15. On January 27, 2018, he scored 27 points in a 90–73 win over the Breakers.[67] In the Wildcats' regular season finale on February 18, Cotton scored a game-high 24 points on 6-of-11 shooting from three-point range along with six assists in an 89–61 win over the Cairns Taipans.[68] The Wildcats finished the regular season in third place with a 16–12 record, while Cotton finished as the NBL's leader in three-pointers made with 84. The mark came from 187 attempts, giving him a three-point shooting percentage of 44.9 – the best in the league for any player taking an average of at least one attempt per game. His 84 three-pointers sits third-most in Wildcats history for a regular season, behind Jermaine Beal (87, 2014) and James Harvey (85, 2006). Cotton also led the league in total points scored with 544, averaging 19.4 points per game.[69] On the eve of the Wildcats' finals campaign, Cotton was named the NBL Most Valuable Player for the 2017–18 season, finishing 23 votes ahead of second place.[70] He became just the third Wildcat to win the award, joining Paul Rogers (2000) and Kevin Lisch (2012).[71][72] He was also named to his first All-NBL First Team.[73] In Game 1 of their semi-final series against the second-seeded Adelaide 36ers, the Wildcats were defeated 109–74 despite Cotton's 22-point effort.[74] The Wildcats went on to lose Game 2 89–88, with Cotton scoring 19 of his game-high 31 points in the first quarter, to bow out of the finals at the hands of a 2–0 sweep.[75] His 19 first-quarter points set a record for any Wildcat in one quarter during a final.[76] Cotton appeared in all 30 games for the Wildcats in 2017–18, averaging 19.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game. At the Wildcats MVP Ball, Cotton was crowned the Gordon Ellis Medalist as the club's Most Valuable Player for the 2017–18 season.[77]

On April 3, 2018, Cotton signed with Brescia Leonessa of the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA).[78][79] Brescia finished the regular season in the third place with a 20–10 record and was defeated in the semi-finals by EA7 Milano. In 11 games, Cotton averaged 12.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

2018–19 season

On June 5, 2018, Cotton signed a three-year deal to return to the Wildcats,[80] with the contract including an NBA out-clause.[81][82] At the NBL Pre-Season Blitz, Cotton won the Ray Borner Medal as tournament's most valuable player.[83][84] In the Wildcats' season opener on October 11, Cotton scored 22 points in a 99–91 win over the Adelaide 36ers.[85]
