The Oldest and Youngest Razorbacks in the League
Bobby Portis, born Feb 10, 1995, in Little Rock, AR, is the oldest of the group at 31. He plays forward at 6'9" for the Miami Heat and wears #95. At the other end, Darius Acuff Jr. is both the youngest and the shortest — a 19-year-old guard at 6'2" for the Sacramento Kings, born Nov 16, 2006, in Detroit, MI, wearing #5.
Heights and Birthplaces Worth Noting
Daniel Gafford is the tallest of the group at 6'10", playing forward for the Dallas Mavericks in #21. Trevon Brazile also stands 6'10" for the Denver Nuggets. Fort Smith, AR and Little Rock, AR each account for 2 players on the list, as does Pittsburgh, PA — a small cluster of shared hometowns across an otherwise widely distributed roster.
How the Roster Spreads Across the NBA
Each of the 11 players lands on a different team, so there's no single franchise with a heavy Arkansas presence. The list includes the Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and Orlando Magic, among others — a broad spread that reflects how the program's alumni have filtered through the league over several draft classes.
