The Houston Rockets are in the early stages of a rebuild. How committed are they to a young movement? They ended up making four selections in the 2021 NBA Draft and each player they picked is a teenager.

Jalen Green, Usman Garuba, Alperen Sengun, and Josh Christopher are all 19-years old. Houston is hopeful that they will have their foundation in place with the young guys they are adding to the roster.
