University Stint
A prized recruit from San Beda High School, Paras started as center for University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, where he once scored 19 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, and blocked seven shots against rival Far Eastern University. The prized UP player had all the basketball essentials in him—agility, rebounding strength, and shooting touch. Eventually, the Maroons went on to win its second UAAP Men's basketball title against the University of the East Red Warriors led by Jerry Codiñera in 1986.
