My main point over and over and over was going from amateur ball over there to college ball over here is a really tough transition for multiple reasons.
Actually you gave one reason:

Amateur basketball overseas is just so terrible
Let's look at the last five winners of the FIBA U19 (meaning mostly amateurs) basketball championships:
2011 -- Lithuania (U.S. did not medal)
2009 -- U.S.
2007 -- Serbia (U.S. Silver)
2003 -- Australia (U.S. did not medal)
1999 -- Spain (U.S. silver)
1995 -- Greece (U.S. did not medal)
The international competition is comparable to American competition.
I get tired of people perpetuating the myth that American college basketball is better than European basketball. And you were doing that, admit it.

Pointless, you are comparing a meaningless tournament to the ENTIRETY of competition. If you think competition for kids in high school is the same toughness level in europe vs. U.S. you roll with that.
You're just arguing to argue at this point. You already agreed its a tough transition which is what I said. Give it a rest already.
