It goes without saying that the 2022-23 Houston Rockets are young, and they’re so very young that three of their starters are not legally allowed to consume alcohol in the United States. They rank as the second youngest team in the NBA (23.58 years old), right behind the Oklahoma City Thunder (23.14).
So, it is safe to say that when they compete against older, veteran-led teams such as the Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, etc., that lack of NBA experience plays a significant factor in the outcomes of games.
