Jordan Parks official in Venice: ‘Grateful, I want to win’
“It will be wonderful to represent this City”: the words of Jordan Parks
Umana Reyer Venezia announced the arrival of U.S. player Jordan Parks from Gevi Napoli. A 201-cm wing, born in Staten Island (New York) on April 6, 1994, last season Parks played 29 Serie A games (29.5 minutes, 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds average, with a high of 40 points and 15 rebounds against Fortitudo Bologna) and 4 Italian Supercup games (10 points and 3.8 rebounds average).
In Italy he played in Trieste for two years, Capo d’Orlando, Treviso and Naples. “I am excited and grateful for this opportunity,” he said, “Reyer is a historic club with a winning culture, I am proud to be part of this family. I have seen many Venice games over the years, in particular I remember the Scudetto final with Sassari. I am coming to an ambitious club that has so much desire to win, in these years Reyer has built something important and now I want to contribute as well. I have already been to Venice and it will be wonderful to represent this City, I look forward to getting to know it better. See you soon!”
