Centers and Forwards Share the Height Equally

With 16 centers and 15 forwards, 6'11" sits at a genuine positional crossover point. Big forwards who can switch onto perimeter players and traditional post centers both land here, which is why the list includes players with very different roles on the floor. Houston carries 4 players at this height, the most of any team, while Atlanta has 3 and Brooklyn has 2. The rest are spread one to a team across 18 franchises total.

A Wide Age Range Within One Height

The youngest player at this height is Chris Cenac Jr. of the Boston Celtics, a forward born Feb 1, 2007, who is 19 years old.
