A Roster Built Around Big Men
Centers dominate this group. Jaxson Hayes and Mo Bamba both stand 7'0" and share a roster in Utah. Jericho Sims (6'10") and Myles Turner (6'11") are together in Milwaukee. Jarrett Allen, at 6'9", rounds out the five centers with Cleveland. The lone forward is Kevin Durant at 6'11", now with Houston wearing #7.
The guards offer a contrast in size. Tre Johnson is the shortest of the nine at 6'5", while Dailyn Swain and Jayson Kent check in at 6'7" and 6'8" respectively.
Where These Players Were Born
All 9 players were born in the United States. Texas claims the most birthplaces, with Myles Turner born in Bedford, TX, Jarrett Allen in Round Rock, TX, and Tre Johnson in Garland, TX. The others were born across a range of states, from New York to Minnesota to Maryland, reflecting how broadly Texas recruited during each player's college era.
Spread Across the League
The 9 players represent 7 different franchises, so most teams carry just one Texas alumnus. Milwaukee and Utah are the exceptions, each with 2. The remaining 5 players are one to a team across Cleveland, Houston, Portland, Chicago, and Washington.
