Five Washington Huskies are on NBA rosters for the 2026-27 season, each on a different team. The group ranges in age from 20 to 29 and in height from 6'4" to 6'10", giving it a notably wide spread for a five-player alumni cohort.
Three of the five were born in Washington state, a home-state pipeline that stands out. The fifth player, Hannes Steinbach, was born in Wurzburg, Germany, making him the only one born outside the United States.
