Jamarion Sharp is getting an opportunity in the NBA.<\/p>\n
Sharp, 24, made five appearances with the Raptors in Las Vegas and averaged 7.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks, which was ninth-highest among all players at Summer League. The Ole Miss product also shot 71.4 per cent from the field during that span.<\/p>\n
The undrafted big man has yet to make his NBA regular-season debut, having previously spent some time with the Dallas Mavericks after his three NCAA campaigns, but was limited to a pair of Exhibit-10 contracts and pre-season appearances between the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
He instead spent the last two years playing in the G League with the Texas Legends, the Mavericks’ affiliate team. In 2025-26, Sharp was named the G League’s Defensive Player of the Year after averaging 4.1 blocks to go with 7.5 rebounds and 7.7 points on 73.5 per cent shooting through 39 appearances.<\/p>\n
As for the Raptors, they still hold one two-way slot of their own with this year’s 50th-overall pick Jaden Bradley and undrafted sophomore Chucky Hepburn occupying the other two spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamarion Sharp is getting an opportunity in the NBA.
