The 6-foot-4 guard out of National University first played in the D-League last year with the Texas Legends, where he averaged 4.6 points and 1.9 rebounds in 32 games.
Parks, a former two-time UAAP MVP, saw action for the Philippine national team in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in July. He has since returned to the US to continue pursuing his dream of becoming the first Filipino-born NBA player.
