Since graduating from Arizona after the 2012-13 season, Parrom spent one season in the D-League with the Grand Valley Vipers. He appeared in 46 games for the Vipers, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. The following year, he played professionally in Finland and Mexico. Now, he's back in the States, and hopefully this leads him to something more long-term. Former Oregon Duck Jalil Abdul-Bassit and former Oregon State Beaver Jared Cunningham are also on the roster.
