Jarrad Prue (born 11 February 1982) is an Australian former basketball player who spent the majority of his playing career with the Lakeside Lightning of the State Basketball League (SBL). Considered one of the best players in SBL history, Prue ended his career as the league's all-time leading rebounder. A registered auditor off the court, Prue also had a short stint with the Perth Wildcats of the National Basketball League (NBL) in 2013.
Born and raised in Perth, Prue attended Rossmoyne Senior High School in the southern suburb of Bull Creek, where he graduated from in 1999. He went on to graduate from Curtin University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Business (Accounting & Finance), and in July 2004, he joined BDO Audit after working for 18 months at a Perth Big 4 firm. He was later admitted as a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in 2006.
Prue began his decorated State Basketball League career in 2003 for the Lakeside Lightning, playing in 24 games while averaging 4.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. Prue's second season with Lakeside saw him establish himself as one of the best rebounders in the league, as he averaged 18.5 boards in 26 games (480 total rebounds) in 2004. In 2005, Prue spent a lone season with the Willetton Tigers and managed just nine games. He returned to Lakeside in 2006, where he played ever since.
His 13.0 points and 19.1 rebounds per game helped lead the Lightning to a second consecutive title in 2006 as Prue captured his first career championship. In 2007, Prue won the SBL's leading rebounder award for a third time. After an injury-hit year in 2008 limited him to just five games, Prue returned to form in 2009 as he won the SBL's leading rebounder award, was named to the SBL All-Star Five alongside teammate Luke Payne, and led the Lightning to an 85–77 Grand Final win over the Perry Lakes Hawks, capturing his second SBL championship.
