Dereon Seabron (;[1] born May 26, 2000) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the New Orleans Pelicans of the National Basketball Association (NBA), on a two-way contract with the Birmingham Squadron of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the NC State Wolfpack.
Seabron played basketball for Lake Taylor High School in Norfolk, Virginia. As a sophomore, he helped his team reach the 4A state title game.[2] In his junior season, Seabron averaged 17.2 points and seven rebounds per game.[3] As a senior, he averaged 22.5 points and 11 rebounds per game, leading Lake Taylor to its first state championship. Seabron was named 4A Player of the Year and All-Tidewater Player of the Year.[4] He opted to play a postgraduate season at Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia to gain more attention from college programs.[5] A four-star recruit, he committed to playing college basketball for NC State in April 2019 over offers from Georgia, Pittsburgh, Providence and VCU.[6]
Seabron redshirted his first season at NC State after being ruled academically ineligible by the NCAA and losing the appeal.[7] In the regular season finale against Notre Dame, Seabron had his first double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds, and he earned ACC Freshman of the Week honors. As a freshman, he averaged 5.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.[8] On December 1, 2021, Seabron posted a career-high 39 points and 18 rebounds in a 104–100 win against Nebraska in quadruple overtime, breaking the ACC–Big Ten Challenge single-game scoring record.[9] He scored the most points in a game by an NC State player since T. J. Warren scored 42 points against Boston College on March 29, 2014.[10] As a sophomore, Seabron was named ACC Most Improved Player as well as Second Team All-ACC.[11]
After going undrafted in the 2022 NBA draft, Seabron signed a two-way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans on September 9, 2022.[12] On April 6, 2023, the Pelicans waived Seabron,[13] but re-signed him to another two-way contract on April 9.[14]
