Six St. John's alumni are on NBA rosters for the 2026-27 season, each landing at a different team. The group skews young — the oldest is 25 and the youngest is 22 — and every player was born in the United States.

Forwards make up the majority of the group, with 4 of the 6 playing that position. The 2 guards round out a roster spread that reaches from Atlanta to Boston to San Antonio.

Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?
