Jorge and Guillermo Díaz Graham — identical twins from Spain’s Canary Islands, both about 7 feet tall — are set to begin their professional careers together Sunday night in Mexico City, when the Texas Legends open their season against the Capitanes.

The Legends, the Dallas Mavericks’ G League affiliate, took them first and third in the G League’s International Draft in July.

Arena CDMX hosted the Nuggets and Pacers on Saturday. The Capitanes made four picks in the same international draft: Egypt’s Aly Khalifa fifth, Luismal Ferreiras of the Dominican Republic 12th, Jonathan Bello of the Dominican Republic 14th and Colombia’s Luis Benítez 17th.

Together, Then Apart, Then Together Again

The twins played together at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, where they went 30-6, and then for three seasons at Pittsburgh. As freshmen, they reached the 2023 NCAA Tournament, beating Mississippi State in the First Four and Iowa State in the first round.

For their senior seasons they split up, and both landed in the West Coast Conference. Jorge, a 6-foot-11 forward, went to Oregon State, where he averaged 6.0 points and led the team with 32 blocks. Guillermo, a 7-footer, went to San Francisco, where he averaged 5.2 points and shot 37.5% from 3-point range. On Feb. 12, Jorge went 4-for-4 from 3 and scored 18 points at San Francisco, against his brother’s team.

Guillermo also won the 2022 FIBA U20 European Championship with Spain.

Twins who develop side by side tend to keep finding each other. Amen and Ausar Thompson played together at Overtime Elite before going fourth and fifth in the 2023 NBA Draft. The Díaz Graham brothers have now been teammates at IMG Academy, at Pittsburgh and, starting Sunday, as pros.

Frisco’s Baseball Neighbors

The Legends’ home in Frisco is a short walk from Riders Field, home of the Frisco RoughRiders, the Texas Rangers’ Double-A affiliate.

In 2026 the RoughRiders had Sebastian Walcott, the Rangers’ top prospect. Walcott, a 20-year-old shortstop from Nassau, Bahamas, played most of his season in Frisco before a promotion to Triple-A Round Rock. He’s finishing his year in the Arizona Fall League with the Surprise Saguaros, and he was picked for the Fall Stars Game.

The Bahamas keeps producing athletes in both sports. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is from Nassau, like Walcott, and 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe is from Bimini.

Banana Ball’s World Tour is also coming back to Frisco in 2027.

Spain’s Baseball Twins

Spain’s national baseball team has twins too. Frank and Omar Hernández were born in Havana in 2001 and grew up in Viladecans, outside Barcelona. Last month Omar captained Spain at the WBSC Premier12 qualifier in Barcelona, where Spain qualified for the 2027 Premier12. Frank was named the tournament’s most outstanding player.

The Original Bash Brothers

The most famous twins in baseball were also born in Havana. José and Ozzie Canseco, born in 1964, grew up in Miami. José won the 1988 American League MVP and was the first player with 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in the same season. Ozzie also reached the majors.

WBN’s Matt Tallarini caught up with the Cansecos this fall. They talked about winning the Homers for Heroes Derby, hitting together again at the Oakland Coliseum, and baseball’s automated ball-strike challenge system, where their advice was to keep the umpires out of the equation.

Twins who both make the major leagues are rare. The most recent pair is relievers Taylor and Tyler Rogers.

The latest pair to join them is Dominican right-handers Roddery and Rolddy Muñoz. The Braves signed both on the same day in 2018. Roddery reached the majors first, with Miami in 2024, and then pitched for St. Louis in 2025. Rolddy debuted with Atlanta on Sept. 2, 2025. This winter, Roddery is pitching for the Águilas Cibaeñas in the Dominican Winter League.

Some twins reach the majors without playing. In 2025, Tyler and Austin Jones of Charleston, South Carolina, became the first twins to umpire in MLB.

Brothers are more common than twins. Puerto Rico’s Sandy Alomar Jr. and Roberto Alomar debuted in the same season, sons of a 15-year big leaguer, Sandy Alomar Sr. They’re No. 3 on WBN’s list of the top 10 international father-son duos. That list also includes Fernando Tatis Sr., who manages La Guaira against Magallanes at Choque de Gigantes this weekend in Miami.
