Clippers Sign Undrafted Player Taller Than Victor Wembanyama

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed a player who is now taller than the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama in the NBA.

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Jamarion Sharp, a 7-foot-5-inch big man, to a two-way contract. This makes him the tallest player in the league, surpassing Victor Wembanyama, who stands at 7-foot-3. Sharp, who was undrafted in 2024, had an impressive season in the G League, averaging 3.8 blocks per game and being named the G League Defensive Player of the Year.

He played for the Texas Legends, the G League team affiliated with the Dallas Mavericks. The two-way contract allows Sharp to split time between the NBA's Clippers and their G League team, the San Diego Clippers, providing the NBA team an opportunity to assess his fit. Despite his impressive stats, Sharp is still far from matching Wembanyama's professional achievements.
