Career highlights and awards

Bryce Jiron Cotton (born August 11, 1992) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Perth Wildcats of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball for the Providence Friars.

Cotton attended Palo Verde High School in his hometown of Tucson, Arizona. In his senior season, Cotton averaged 23.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game, in a season where his team went 24-7, and made it to the state 4A semi-finals. For his performances, Cotton earned first team All-City and first team All-State honors in 2010. Despite his solid senior season and high-school career, Cotton was not evaluated by ESPN, Rivals.com, or Scout.com.

On September 2, 2010, it was announced that Cotton had been recruited to the Providence Friars. Cotton played in 32 games his freshman season, including one start, and averaged only 4 points per game. The following season, Cotton was named a starter, saw his minutes more than double, and his points per game improve to 14.3. In his junior season, Cotton was the Big East's leading scorer, averaging 19.4 points per game. For his efforts, Cotton was named first team All-Big East.

Before his senior season, Cotton was named preseason All-Big East by the conference's coaches. It was announced on January 20, 2014, that Cotton was named Big East Player of the Week, after averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists in two wins over St. John's and Creighton. On February 13, 2014, Cotton was part of the Naismith Player of the Year trophy mid-season watch. The Friars finished the season with a record of 20-11, with a 10-8 conference mark, which resulted in a 4 seed in the 2014 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament. The Friars would go on to win the title, their first since 1994, with Cotton averaging 17.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game, en route to Cotton winning the tournament's MVP award. This resulted in the Friars receiving an auto-bid to the national tournament, the first and only tournament appearance in Cotton's career. Despite putting up 36 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists, Cotton and the Friars lost their first round match-up against the North Carolina Tar Heels 77-79, ending Cotton's college career.
