Clippers Sign 7'5" Jamarion Sharp, Now the NBA's Tallest, to Chase Wembanyama
L.A. handed G League DPOY Jamarion Sharp a two-way deal. He's now the tallest man in the league — but does he matter for your roster? Short answer: no.
Two-way novelty pickup; zero standard-league value right now.
- Sharp is 7'5", one inch taller than Wembanyama
- Led G League with 3.9 blocks per game in 2025-26
- Shot 71.2% from the field, best in the G League
- 2025-26 G League Defensive Player of the Year
- Signed to a Clippers two-way contract
The Clippers just added the tallest player in the NBA, and no, it wasn't a headline move for the fantasy crowd. L.A. signed 7'5" center Jamarion Sharp to a two-way contract, giving them a body that stands a full inch taller than Victor Wembanyama's listed 7'4" and two inches over Memphis' Zach Edey at 7'3".
Sharp earned the look. He was named the G League's Defensive Player of the Year for 2025-26 with the Texas Legends, leading the league with 3.9 blocks per game while grabbing 7.3 rebounds in 24.9 minutes a night. He also topped the circuit in field goal percentage at 71.2% — elite finishing at the rim, if nothing that stretches the floor.
The path here has been long. Sharp went undrafted in 2024 after college stops at John A. Logan, Western Kentucky and Ole Miss, then spent two seasons grinding in the Mavericks' G League system before playing 2026 Summer League with Toronto. The Clippers scooped him up after that.
The obvious framing is Sharp-versus-Wemby, and it's a fun one, but let's not oversell it. Wembanyama's dominance isn't about the tape measure — it's the height plus guard skills, shooting range and freak athleticism. Sharp brings none of the extras. Being taller helps a little when you're trying to bother a shot, but it doesn't turn a two-way rim protector into a Wemby stopper.
The Fantasy Fallout
For fantasy managers, this is a non-event in standard leagues. Sharp is a two-way, which caps his active NBA days, and he profiles as a defense-and-dunks specialist behind an established Clippers frontcourt. There's no usage story, no scoring role, no path to consistent minutes worth streaming.
Wembanyama, meanwhile, remains the actual asset. He's our No. 3 player overall and No. 1 at his position, coming off 25 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 64 games in 2025-26 (53.4 actual fantasy points per game), and his last five games ran +14.1 above his season average. Draft him with a first-round pick and never think about who's guarding him.
Bottom line: keep Sharp on your watch list purely for the novelty and the block upside if injuries ever open a real role. Until then, he's a headline, not a add. Circle the first Clippers-Spurs meeting for the theater — just don't roster anyone in it named Sharp.
