NAKATAKDANG iparada ng Gilas Pilipinas ang kabuuang 17-man line-up sa darating na Jones Cup sa Taipei matapos idagdag si Ray Parks Jr.
Hindi kasama ang 24-anyos na si Parks sa line-up na nauna nang inanunsiyo ni national team coach Chot Reyes noong nakaraang linggo.
Si Parks ay kasama sa Southeast Asian Games lineup at binigyan ng maraming minuto sa mga nakaraang Gilas’ tune-up games kontra sa ilang mga PBA teams.
Goodbye PBA? John Amores, tinanggalan na ng professional license!
Kinumpirma naman ni team manager Butch Antonio ang pagkakadagdag ni Parks sa line-up nitong Miyerkules.
Gayunman, hinihintay pa ni Parks ang pormal na anunsiyo o pasabi galing mismo kay Reyes.
“He (Reyes) talked to me about it. He just wants to bring me along and see how everything goes. We’ve been showing up in practice, so he just wants to keep this core group together,” ani Parks. “I have to wait for comment if I’ll be in the exact lineup playing in the Jones Cup, but for sure I’m going on the trip.”
