Four NBA players stand at 7'2" on 2026-27 rosters, each listed as a center. That makes 7'2" one of the rarest heights in the league, with every player at this mark occupying the same position.
Ages in the group span from 19 to 31, spread across 4 different teams. Birthplaces cover Connecticut, Georgia, Latvia, and South Sudan, making it a geographically varied group despite its small size.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?

All Centers, One Height
Every player in this group is a center — no guards, no forwards. Donovan Clingan (#23) plays for the Portland Trail Blazers and was born in Bristol, CT. Walker Kessler suits up for the Los Angeles Lakers out of Auburn. Kristaps Porzingis (#7) is with the Golden State Warriors, born in Liepaja, Latvia. Khaman Maluach (#10) joins the Phoenix Suns after a year at Duke, born in Rumbek, South Sudan.
The position uniformity isn't surprising — 7'2" is a height that the NBA has historically deployed almost exclusively in the frontcourt, and the 2026-27 data reflects that completely.
A Wide Age Range in a Small Group
The youngest player at this height is Khaman Maluach, age 19, born Sep 14, 2006. The oldest is Kristaps Porzingis, age 31, born Aug 2, 1995. That's a gap of more than a decade between the youngest and oldest player sharing the exact same listed height.
Donovan Clingan, at 22, and Walker Kessler, at 25, fill out the middle of the age range. Each of the 4 players is on a different team, so no single franchise carries more than 1 player at this height.
College Backgrounds and Birthplaces
Three of the 4 players attended college before the NBA — Clingan at UConn, Maluach at Duke, and Kessler at Auburn. Porzingis did not play college basketball. Two players were born in the United States, one in Latvia, and one in South Sudan.
