Positions and Size Across the Roster
Forwards and guards each account for 4 players, with Chet Holmgren standing alone as the group's only center. The height range is wide: Holmgren wears #7 for Oklahoma City at 7'1", while Ryan Nembhard (#19, Atlanta) checks in at 5'11". That spread of more than a foot within a single college's alumni is notable. The 4 forwards tend to be the taller players — Domantas Sabonis (#11) is 6'10" and Zach Collins (#12) is 6'9" — while the guards range from 5'11" to 6'6".
Teams and Birthplaces in the Group
The 9 players are distributed across 8 teams, so nearly every Gonzaga alumnus is the sole representative on his roster. Atlanta is the one exception, with both Corey Kispert (#24) and Ryan Nembhard (#19) on the Hawks. Birthplaces span several countries: 5 players were born in the United States, 2 in Canada — both from Aurora, ON — and Rui Hachimura (#28) was born in Toyama, Japan, while Domantas Sabonis (#11) was born in Kaunas, Lithuania.
Age-wise, Sabonis at 30 is the oldest, and Ryan Nembhard at 23 is the youngest, giving the group a fairly compact generational range.
Notable Individual Profiles
Andrew Nembhard (#2, Indiana) and his brother Ryan (#19, Atlanta) are both Gonzaga products born in Aurora, ON, making them one of the more unusual sibling pairs in the league. Jalen Suggs (#4, Orlando) was born in Saint Paul, MN, and plays guard at 6'5". Julian Strawther (#3, Denver) and Zach Collins (#12, Chicago) were both born in Las Vegas, NV, adding another birthplace pairing to the group's geography.
