The group spans a wide age range, from Christian Anderson (age 20) to Mike Conley (age 38), and is spread across 15 teams. Boston and Charlotte each carry 2 players at this height; the rest are spread one to a team.

A height built entirely for the backcourt
Every player on this list is classified as a guard, making 6'1" one of the most guard-exclusive heights in the NBA. The group includes a mix of veterans and young players: Conley, born in 1987, is the oldest, while Anderson and Jase Richardson, both 20, are the youngest. T.J. McConnell (age 34) and Dennis Schroder (age 32) represent the experienced middle of the group.
Colleges are well distributed. Houston leads with 2 alumni — Jamal Shead and Marcus Sasser. Arizona and Baylor each account for 1. Schroder is the one player in the group born outside the United States, born in Braunschweig, Germany; the remaining 16 were born in the US.
