How the Razorbacks spread across positions
6 of the 12 are guards, 5 are forwards, and 1 — Jonas Aidoo of the Utah Jazz — is a center. Aidoo, at 6'11", is the tallest of the group; Darius Acuff Jr. of the Sacramento Kings, at 6'2", is the shortest. The position mix means Arkansas alumni appear at every spot on the floor, with no single role dominating by a wide margin.
Ages and birthplaces across the group
Bobby Portis (#95, Miami Heat) is the oldest at 31 and was born in Little Rock, AR. Darius Acuff Jr. (#5, Sacramento Kings), born in Detroit, MI, is the youngest at 19. The group skews young overall, with several players still in their early 20s.
5 players were born in Arkansas, with Fort Smith and Little Rock each producing 2 members of the group. Pittsburgh, PA also appears twice among the birthplaces listed.
Notable jersey numbers among current Razorbacks
Bobby Portis wears the distinctive #95 for the Miami Heat. Anthony Black of the Orlando Magic wears #0, while Moses Moody of the Golden State Warriors wears #4. Each of the 12 players carries a different number, reflecting the one-per-team spread across the league.
