Scott Perry tabbed as potential NBA GM

Ken Berger of CBSSports.com’s list of potential NBA general managers included Scott Perry:

"Scott Perry, Pistons’ VP of basketball operations: A finalist for the SuperSonics GM position that ultimately went to Sam Presti, Perry remains highly regarded despite the Pistons’ downward spiral. He’s done a solid job running the Pistons’ draft, is a strong leader and has the people skills to handle the administrative side of the job — from dealing with agents and fellow executives to serving as a sounding board and middle man between players and coaches. That’s where Perry’s experience as a college coach (head coach at Eastern Kentucky and assistant at Michigan, Cal and Detroit-Mercy) is a real asset. Colleagues say he compares favorably to Bucks GM John Hammond, who he replaced in the Pistons’ front office, in terms of both style and substance."

Berger also listed former Pistons Director of Basketball Operations Tony Ronzone and former Pistons player Allan Houston.
