The Los Angeles Clippers signed center Jamarion Sharp to a two-way contract on Monday. At 7’5″, Sharp is officially the tallest active player in the NBA ahead of San Antonio Spurs star big man Victor Wembanyama, who is listed at 7’4″.
After a five-year college career that included two junior college seasons, two years at Western Kentucky and a year at Ole Miss, Sharp went undrafted in 2024 and signed with the Texas Legends of the G League. He was named the 2025-26 G League Defensive Player of the Year after averaging 7.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and a league-high 3.8 blocks per game. He’s the first player in Legends franchise history to win the award. He also shot a league-best 73.5 percent from the field.
Sharp played for the Toronto Raptors in the NBA summer league in Las Vegas last month and averaged 7.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks across five games. He dropped 17 points, seven rebounds and two blocks in a matchup against the Houston Rockets.
