A note on why 25 works as the age cap when assessing an organization's talent depth: players tend to hit their development plateaus around 25. Their production becomes easier to predict and they are known quantities and their ceiling is basically established. The league a player currently suits up for is merely an indicator of where that player's performance tier lands (coupled with age restrictions and geography, I guess).
Especially in a salary cap system, where the most efficient production (P/$) generally comes from your youth, assessing the talent depth at this stage is a great indicator of the team's health and longevity.
