This isn't football. Much more certainty on the basketball scene for the most part.

Sure you bet! So players can't grow, put on muscle, learn to play the game better, develop their moves and shooting. They can't be overlooked by most coaches (Hickey) or be judged because their high school team didn't play any good teams. Or perhaps they play that Euro ball, which everyone knows is so inferior to US. So inferior that they have flooded the NBA with players over the last twenty years. Shane Hammink was the MVP in a tournament which had a team from the US with top high school players, all of whom are going to major colleges.
