NBA'S COMPOSITE PLAYER

Brooklyn's Taurean Prince most closely resembles the average NBA player based on height, weight, age and experience.

A 6-6?, 218-pound forward who turns 27 in March, Prince has played four NBA seasons (through 2019-20) since being selected by Utah with the 12th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Prince played his first three seasons with Atlanta and recently began his second season with the Nets. In 2017-18, he averaged a career-high 14.1 points with the Hawks, who acquired him from the Jazz in July 2016 before his rookie season.

In recent seasons, the NBA Roster Survey composite player was Glenn Robinson III (2019-20), Andre Roberson (2018-19), Tony Snell (2017-18) and Klay Thompson (2016-17).
