    College career

    Before deciding where to attend college, Rabb listed ten schools as finalists, Arizona, Cal, Duke, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, UCLA and USC.[6]

    On October 24, 2014, Rabb cut his list to five schools, Arizona, Cal, Kansas, Kentucky and UCLA.

    On March 25, 2015, Rabb announced that Arizona and Cal were his two finalists.

    On April 13, 2015, Rabb announced his intent to enroll at the University of California, Berkeley and play for the Golden Bears.[7]

    After a strong freshman season where he earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors, Rabb surprised many by opting to forego the 2016 NBA draft (despite him being projected to be a lottery selection that year) and return to Cal.[8] Prior to the 2016–17 season, he was named a preseason All-American by the Associated Press.[9]

    At the conclusion of his sophomore season on March 22, 2017, Rabb announced his intention to forgo his final two years of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2017 NBA Draft.[10]

    Professional career

    Memphis Grizzlies (2017–present)

    Rabb was selected 35th overall (5th pick of the second round) in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic who later traded his rights to the Memphis Grizzlies.[11] On September 18, 2017, Rabb agreed to a three-year rookie-scale deal with the Grizzlies, having his first two seasons fully guaranteed by Memphis. During his rookie season, he has had multiple assignments with the Memphis Hustle, Grizzlies' G-League affiliate.[12].
