High school career

Parks attended Hickory High School under head coach Shawn Johnson, averaging 24 points, three rebounds and five assists as a senior, leading the Red Tornadoes to a 26–3 record and a sectional championship game. He finished his high school career with 1,461 points and on his three years at Hickory, they had a 72-17 combined record that included Catawba Valley Athletic 2A-3A Conference regular-season titles in 2008 and 2009.[1][2][3]

College career

Parks began his career at UNC Charlotte, where he played sparingly in his freshman season. The next year, despite the interest of several DI schools, he transferred to Johnson C. Smith to not have to sit out a year per NCAA rules.[1][3]

As a sophomore, Parks averaged 21.3 points, 4.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game and became the first ever player in Smith's history to be the CIAA Player of the Year. He followed that up with 22 points and 3.8 assists per game as a junior and 25 points and 4.1 assists as a senior, earning All-American status in D-II basketball each season.[1][4][5][6]

After graduating, Parks attended workouts for the Charlotte Bobcats, Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets, however, he still went undrafted in the 2013 NBA draft.[4] On July 31, 2014, he signed with German club FC Schalke 04 for the 2014–2015 season.[6]

On February 2, 2016, Parks was acquired by the Delaware 87ers of the NBA Development League.[7] The next day, he made his debut for the 87ers in a 100–97 loss to the Erie BayHawks, recording two points, one rebound and one assist in nine minutes.[8] On February 19, he was waived by Delaware.[9]
