    The rockets have the youngest group of players to play a significant amount of mins if we took the rockets top 6 youngest players under the age of 25 (age at the start of the season) that have played a minimum of 17 mins a game. This includes San Antonio, Portland, OKC and Orlando. Granted some players have not played the entire season but it gives us an idea of just how young the team is. For all the attention OKC and Orlando have received for being young teams, their younger players are overall older.

    Houston Rockets
    Player Age Pts
    Tari 22 9
    Jalen 21 19
    Sengun 21 21
    Amen 20 8
    Jabari 20 13
    Cam 19 12

    OKC Thunder
    Player Age Pts
    Shai 25 30
    Luguentz 24 10
    Jalen 22 19
    Chet 21 17
    Josh 21 11
    Cason 19 6

    Orlando Magic
    Player Age Pts
    Carter 24 11
    Cole 23 11
    Franz 22 19
    Suggs 22 12
    Paolo 20 22
    Anthony 19 4

    Let’s give this young team some time before we try to make trades without knowing what their potential could be together. Here’s a look at Jalen’s season compared to Shai’s numbers at the age of 21 entering the season. This doesn’t mean Jalen will have a similar career but no one could have predicted Shai would turn into an MVP at this age.

    It’s actually 48 years. Vernon Maxwell played 10 min last night on a one way contract. Old team is old.

    The vets weren’t even making the team better until recently. FVV was mid for most of the season until post all star break. Dillon has made jsut as many boneheaded mistakes as the rookies. Uncle Jeff and has done as much s can expects of a 37 year old not named Lebron
