Five NBA players wear #19 heading into the 2026-27 season, one for each team they represent. The group spans a wide range of sizes, from Ryan Nembhard at 5'11" to Jakob Poeltl at 7'0", and ages, from Joan Beringer at 19 to Poeltl at 30.
Guards make up the majority of the group, with 3 of the 5 players listed at that position. The remaining two spots go to a forward and a center, giving #19 a balanced if small footprint across the league.

At the other end, Joan Beringer of the Minnesota Timberwolves is the youngest at 19, while Ryan Nembhard of the Atlanta Hawks is the shortest at 5'11". Nembhard, a guard out of Gonzaga, was born in Aurora, ON.
