Player agent Charlie Dy confirmed that Parks won’t be among the names in the rich draft class.

“Yes, he’s not joining the (PBA) Draft,” he said in a text message to INQUIRER.net.

Parks averaged 3.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in his six games with the Dallas Mavericks in the Las Vegas Summer League.

The son of the late Bobby Parks, who was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the third round of the 1984 NBA Draft, is hoping to follow his father’s footsteps.

Dy said that Parks is expecting to at least get training camp invites from three teams as he continues his individual workouts. CFC
