All 24 NBA players listed at 6'1" for the 2026-27 season are guards — every single one. That makes this one of the most position-uniform height groups in the league, with no forwards or centers in the mix at all.
The group spans 18 teams, with Charlotte carrying 4 players at this height. Ages run from 20 (Christian Anderson, Charlotte Hornets) to 39 (Mike Conley, Boston Celtics), giving the list an unusually wide generational spread for a single height.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?

A Pure Guard Height Across the League
Every player at 6'1" in 2026-27 is listed at the guard position, which reflects how the NBA deploys players at this height. The group is spread across 18 teams, so most rosters carry just one player at this measurement. Charlotte is the exception, with 4 guards listed at 6'1".
College representation is broad. Arizona, Houston, and Vanderbilt each produced 2 players in this group. Dennis Schroder (Charlotte Hornets, #17) is the one player born outside the United States, born in Braunschweig, Germany. The rest are born in the USA, with Indiana producing the most players of any single state.
Age Range from Rookie to Veteran
Mike Conley of the Boston Celtics (#45) is the oldest player in the group at 39, born Oct 11, 1987, and attended Ohio State. At the other end, Christian Anderson (Charlotte Hornets, #5) and Jase Richardson (Orlando Magic, #11) are both 20 years old. That 19-year gap between youngest and oldest is one of the widest you'll find at any single height.
The bulk of the group sits in its mid-20s, consistent with a league-wide tendency for guards at this height to enter and hold roster spots through their prime years.
How to Use This List for HoopGuess
If your mystery player is a guard at 6'1", you can narrow the field quickly by age and team. Veteran guards like T.J. McConnell (Indiana Pacers, #9, age 34) and Schroder (age 33) stand out from a mostly younger group. Jersey numbers also help: #45 is unique here to Conley, and #31 belongs solely to Duke Miles of the Philadelphia 76ers.
