Let's look at the last five winners of the FIBA U19 (meaning mostly amateurs) basketball championships:
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.

Pointless? What's pointless is comparing American college basketball to any level in the European rung because there is no equivalent. There is no 1-4 year stopover between youth league and the pros in Europe. 17-18 year olds simply start getting absorbed into the club system, some levels of which are clearly better than US collegiate ball and some levels that are clearly inferior, but nothing quite the same.
That you still talk about European "HIGH SCHOOL" basketball (hint: There's no such thing) shows that you don't grasp the fundamental differences in the system.
But roll with whatever you think.
