The Houston Rockets have one of the best young cores in the NBA. ESPN's new edition of their annual NBA Rank list proves that they've got one of the league's best young duos in Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson.
Even having one player under 25 in the league's top 40 is significant. That's a player that plenty of teams around the NBA would love to have. So, featuring two players under 25 in the top 40 is special.
Only three teams accomplished that feat in the newest rankings.

The other two teams were the Thunder (Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren) and the Magic (Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner).
