Six Memphis Tigers are on NBA rosters for the 2026-27 season, each landing with a different franchise. The group skews young — the oldest is Precious Achiuwa at 26, and the youngest is Jalen Duren at 22 — and leans heavily toward big men.
Memphis has produced a notably front-court-heavy cohort: 4 forwards and 2 centers are in the league, with no guards on the list. The average height across the group is 6'8", reflecting that size.
