Eleven NBA players stand at exactly 7'1" on 2026-27 rosters, making this one of the rarer height bands in the league. Every inch at this level is a genuine outlier — the group spans 11 different teams, meaning no franchise doubles up.
The 11 players range in age from 21 (Yang Hansen, Portland Trail Blazers) to 38 (Brook Lopez, LA Clippers), with an average age of 27.2. Centers dominate the group almost entirely, which is exactly what you'd expect at this height.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?

Positions and roles at this height
Ten of the 11 players are listed as centers, with Lauri Markkanen of the Utah Jazz — wearing #23 — the lone forward. That near-total concentration at center reflects how reliably 7'1" players are deployed in the paint. There are no guards in this group at all.
Colleges and birthplaces in the group
Duke and Stanford each produced 2 players at this height — Dereck Lively II (#2, Dallas Mavericks) and Mark Williams (#15, Phoenix Suns) from Duke; Brook Lopez (#11, LA Clippers) and Maxime Raynaud (#42, Sacramento Kings) from Stanford. Several players entered the league without a college stop.
Seven players were born in the USA, 2 were born in France, and 1 was born in Jyvaskyla, Finland. Birthplaces are spread across multiple US states, with no single city producing more than one player in the group.
The age range across the roster
Brook Lopez, born Apr 1, 1988, is the oldest at 38 and plays for the LA Clippers wearing #11. At the other end, Yang Hansen of the Portland Trail Blazers (#16) is 21, born Jun 26, 2005. The spread between them is wide, and several players in the group — including Chet Holmgren (#7, Oklahoma City Thunder) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (#11, Charlotte Hornets) — are still in their early-to-mid twenties.
