A Wide Range of Ages and Sizes
The youngest Georgia alumnus in the league is Asa Newell (#14, Atlanta Hawks), a 6'11" forward who turned 21 in October 2005. At the other end, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (#1, Philadelphia 76ers) is 33, making him one of the more experienced players on any Georgia alumni list. Anthony Edwards (#5, Minnesota Timberwolves) is 25 and listed at 6'4", while Nic Claxton (#9, Chicago Bulls) matches Newell's 6'11" at age 27.
The position mix is balanced: 2 guards, 1 forward, and 1 center. That spread means Georgia has contributed to multiple roster roles rather than clustering at a single position.
How the Players Are Distributed by Team
Each of the 4 players lands on a different franchise — Atlanta, Chicago, Minnesota, and Philadelphia — so no single team holds more than 1 Georgia alumnus. Edwards is the only Bulldog on the Timberwolves, Newell the only one on the Hawks, Claxton the only one on the Bulls, and Caldwell-Pope the only one on the 76ers.
Newell is the only player born in Florida; Caldwell-Pope and Edwards were both born in Georgia, with Edwards born in Atlanta and Caldwell-Pope in Thomaston.
What to Know Before You Guess
If Georgia comes up as a clue in HoopGuess, the pool is small enough that position and height narrow things quickly. The 2 guards are Edwards at 6'4" and Caldwell-Pope at 6'5"; the center and forward are both 6'11". Jersey numbers — #1, #5, #9, and #14 — are another reliable tiebreaker when team alone doesn't settle it.
