ANDRE Paras is part of San Beda’s lineup in the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup, according to the roster of teams in the preseason tournament obtained by Spin.ph.

Paras is already eligible to play for the Red Lions this year, having undergone a one-year residency with the school after spending an uneventful season with the University of the Philippines Maroons in 2013.
