I don't think it has any affect on actually producing better players.
I just came from watching AAU players from the age of 10-13 play and think that you're flat out wrong about that. AAU coaches teach fundamental skills that these players don't pick up in most middle schools/junior highs. Sure there are some players that AAU probably doesn't do anything for but there are a lot of players who are willing to work and improve their game and AAU serves that purpose.

There is a school of thought that believes year-round basketball is actually lowering the skill level in the US.
Many foreign players grow up playing soccer and other sports and don't even pick up a basketball until their early teens and they are some of the most skilled players.
Many of the young players you mention peak early and are eclipsed by better athletes that may be playing soccer or football at those ages.
