72 players on 2026-27 NBA rosters stand exactly 6'5" — which also happens to match the league average height for this season. That puts this group squarely in the middle of the size spectrum, neither the tallest nor the shortest players in the league.
The group spans a wide age range, from 19-year-old Keaton Wagler of the LA Clippers to 37-year-old James Harden of the Cleveland Cavaliers. All 72 are listed at guard or forward, and they're spread across 29 of the league's 30 teams.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?

A Height Built for the Guard Position
59 of the 72 players at 6'5" are listed as guards, with the remaining 13 playing forward. No centers appear at this height. That makes 6'5" one of the most guard-heavy height bands in the league — tall enough to defend multiple positions, but firmly in backcourt territory by roster classification.
MIA and MIL each carry 5 players at this height, the most of any team, with LAC just behind at 4.
College and Birthplace Breakdown
Kentucky leads all colleges with 5 players at this height, followed by Duke with 4 and Baylor with 3. Illinois also produced multiple players on this list. On the international side, 64 of the 72 were born in the USA, with 3 born in Canada and others born in Serbia, Lithuania, and the Bahamas.
Within the US, California, Illinois, North Carolina, and Texas each produced multiple players in this group, with CA leading among states represented.
Ages and Generations in the Group
The average age across the 72 players is 26, which aligns closely with the overall makeup of the group — most are in their mid-to-late twenties. Keaton Wagler, born Feb 3, 2007, is the youngest, while James Harden, born Aug 26, 1989, is the oldest at 37. That's an 18-year span between the youngest and oldest players sharing the same listed height.
