Perryman did not get selected in the [[NBA draft]] but had tryouts with the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings.

He then went on to spend his first year out of college as a teacher in Michigan before becoming a professional basketball player. He had the most success while playing for [[Argentino de Junín]] in [[Buenos Aires]]. He led the [[Liga Nacional de Básquet|Argentine league]] in rebounding every single season he was there and even developed a cult following among the team's fans. He also played briefly in the [[Continental Basketball Association]] for the [[Grand Rapids Hoops]] during the 1998–99 season, averaging 3 points and 5 rebounds per game in limited action.<ref>1999-2000 Official CBA Guide and Register, page 296</ref>
