I must admit, I am a total sucker for those subjective lists that tout the top performers, in any walk of life, under a certain age threshold. Top 40 executives under the age of 40. Top 30 actors under the age of 30. You get the idea. So along those lines, I thought I would come up with my own for the Houston sports landscape. Who knows, maybe we turn this baby into an annual tradition! So without further ado, I am unveiling my top 26 most important Houston athletes under the age of 26. Why 26, when 25 seems like a cleaner, more traditional number? Because Houston has a decent number of very important athletes who are 25 — Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez to name two — so I wanted to include them.
So let's run through this list, and do so under the rule of forced brevity, stating the reasoning behind the inclusion or placement of each young athlete in one sentence:Rockets rookie point guard, selected 29th overall in last month's draft, is expected to add depth and defensive toughness to young core.The surprising rookie sixth round pick started 15 games in 2021, and looks to build on his stellar rookie season.
