Not in league yet, but expect he will get 10 day is Jabari Brown, 23 ppg in D league and made D league All Star game.
Have always felt his J (NBA range in HS) was as good as any HS player from area over the past 7 or so years.

Ezeli never played for Jesuit. That I know. You think the board wouldn't have been blowing up with a 6"11 kid in the sac area.
 
Congrats out to Jabari Brown, signing a 10 day with the Lakers.. been in D league after being on Lakers pre season squad..... and D league scoring leader until his call up. also, congrats out to Coach O at Oakland High who now has 2 players he coached in the league with Brown and NBA All Star Damien Lillard.
 
Looks like Jabari Brown is getting comfortable with NBA speed/game.. as he signed on for 2nd 10 day... If all goes well for him, Lakers will sign him for rest of season...(sure only a few games left in season)..

PPG at 7.6.. limited minutes as backup guard off bench.... 52% from floor, so, not getting awed by NBA game..
47% from 3 point line.. (his J has always been sweet)


After 2nd 10 day, Lakers signed Brown for rest of season and non g for next season:

Lakers press release:

The Los Angeles Lakers have waived guard Steve Nash and signed guard Jabari Brown to a multi-year contract, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.
Brown, previously signed to 10-day contracts on March 10 and March 20, has appeared in 10 games for the Lakers, averaging 9.4 points on 50.0% (32-64) shooting, including 45.8% (11-24) from three-point range, in addition to 1.7 assists, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes per game.
Monday, Brown had the best performance of his NBA career, scoring a career-high 22 points on 7-10 shooting (3-4 from beyond-the-arc), playing 34 minutes in an overtime victory at Philadelphia.
Prior to joining the Lakers, Brown was a member of the Lakers NBA Development League affiliate, the Los Angeles D-Fenders, where he led the D-League in scoring at 24.4 points per game to go along with 4.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 39 games (25 starts). A 2015 NBA D-League All-Star, Brown tallied two of the highest single-game scoring outputs in the D-League this season, finishing with 50 points on January 10th at Sioux Falls and 48 points on February 28th versus Bakersfield.
