[Scotto] The LA Clippers have signed 7’5” center Jamarion Sharp to a two-way contract. Sharp won DPOY of last year’s G-League season while averaging 4.1 BPG. He averaged 2.8 BPG in just 18 MPG in his five games played during the 2026 Summer League.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Jamarion Sharp have agreed to a two-way deal, agent Scott Nichols of @Rize_Management told @hoopshype. Sharp was last year’s G League Defensive Player of the Year and blocks leader (4.1). With Yanic Konan Niederhauser hurt, Sharp adds frontcourt depth.

Against competition in the SEC, Sharp played 14 minutes a night and averaged less than 3 PPG. He’s a more extreme version of Thabeet - dunk, block shots, and that’s it.

I mean, the clippers took a flier on DeAndre Jordan many years ago and he turned out pretty well. You never know

That said, from what I’ve seen from Sharp (a few youtube highlights) I’m not particularly impressed. But fuck it, the team’s going to be ass this year anyways, might as well try some things out

Deandre Jordan averaged 8 ppg as a freshman in college. This dude averaged 3 ppg as a senior that’s a huge difference.

Right, which is why he was taken in the second round and not undrafted. But he was absolutely seen as a project coming out of the draft

I’m not trying to imply that these guys are comparable prospects (they aren’t), and I don’t think this guy could ever realistically have a DJ level impact. Just saying that sometimes long shots pan out better than you expect

Who do you guys have on your roster that would develop with him like DJ did with Chris Paul?

He is more of a shorter version of 7’7” Manute Bol, from what I watched.

He is also very slim, similar to Manute. Except that he is a bit heavier - 225 lbs- 235 lbs, whereas Manute was around 200 lbs.

Yes, dunk (and sometimes short range jumper), and block shots, and that’s it.

Exactly. There’s something there to work with. Won’t ever be a starter but could be used in limited minutes

Difference is you can be 7’5 and be successful defensively in college and even the G-league.

In the NBA he’s probably going to get cooked because there’s more to being a rim protector than just standing near the rim. You need to be mobile enough to rotate and to survive vs the pick and roll.

RyverFisher | San Diego Clippers

He’s 100 for half of the game, so 50 rating in 2k

Right before his draft year he was arrested for shooting a gun at someone trying to repossess his car, so that probably didn’t help how people judged his character.

Imagine being the repo guy and this eldritch horror(just the fact that he’s 7’5) shows up brandishing a gun.

It must be incredibly hard for a 7’5” guy to find a car he can fit in. He’s not giving that up without a fight.

if he had actual NBA potential I feel like any contending team wouldve gotten him a while ago just to be a Wemby stopper

abris33 | Nuggets

It’s pretty telling that the only stat they mention is his blocks. Seems like that’s all he’s on the floor for and that doesn’t work in the NBA

I’ve watched him on the Texas Legends. He appears totally lost on offense. Like he doesn’t even know where to stand on the floor. I saw him earlier in the season, so it could be he’s learning fast, but he was worse than raw on offense when I watched him play.

At the very least, he helps in training camp and practice. Clippers centers: Lopez (tall, old); Niederhauser (tall, injured for training camp); Baba Miller (tallish, but not really a center); I. Jackson (short); Norchad Omier (even shorter)
