What's next for NU's Ray Parks? PBA Rookie Draft or D-League?
National University (NU) superstar Bobby Ray Parks needs time to think about his next move after he and the Bulldogs were ousted by the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers in the Final Four of the UAAP Season 76 tournament.
The Bulldogs were the top-seeded team and had twice-to-beat advantage, but they ran into an inspired UST team who made history by becoming the first fourth-seed in the Final Four era to topple the No. 1 team.
“It sucks to lose,” a subdued Parks told reporters after they lost 69-76 to UST last Saturday. “But hey, they showed up, they played tough, and they played their type of basketball. So congratulations to them.”

D-League: Blackwater starts to lose hope of getting Chris Banchero
CHANCES of Chris Banchero playing for Blackwater in the coming PBA D-League is becoming dimmer that no less than team owner Dioceldo Sy is honest enough to admit he’s "starting to lose hope."
“I am no longer optimistic,” said Sy, who could do nothing but shake his head upon learning that Café France is giving up its right to select Banchero as the top pick overall in the first ever D-League rookie draft on Thursday after deciding to just forge a school tie-up with Centro Escolar University (CEU).

Team manager Fullton Sy confirmed BDO's entry in the developmental league, saying it is the SM group's way of giving their players from National University the needed exposure in high-level competition during the UAAP offseason.

In the past, clubs were free to sign any players without restrictions, but the introduction of the draft looks to even the playing field by reducing the number of 'super teams' with stacked rosters.
