The Players Behind the Number
Caleb Martin of the Dallas Mavericks is the oldest of the group at 30, a forward out of Nevada born in Mocksville, NC, standing 6'5". Keshad Johnson wears #16 for the Miami Heat at 6'6", a forward who played college ball at Arizona and was born in Oakland, CA. PJ Hall brings #16 to the Charlotte Hornets — a 6'8" center out of Clemson, born in Spartanburg, SC, at age 24.
Yang Hansen rounds out the group as the youngest at 21, a 7'1" center for the Portland Trail Blazers born on Jun 26, 2005. He is the tallest of the four by a clear margin and did not play college basketball.
College Backgrounds and Birthplaces
Three of the four players have college programs listed: Nevada, Arizona, and Clemson each claim one player. The birthplaces of those born in the US spread across the South and West Coast, with players born in North Carolina, South Carolina, and California. Hansen has no listed birthplace or college affiliation in the current data.
What the Roster Looks Like Overall
Every #16 wearer is on a different team, so the number is spread across the league rather than concentrated anywhere. The position split is even — 2 forwards and 2 centers — making #16 a big-man number this season, with no guard carrying it at all.
