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.

I didnt say they had high school basketball. I said competition while they are that age, hence "amateur basketball". Stop arguing to argue. You are taking every little thing I say, twist it into something completely different, then go off on a tirade of which I'm not reading because I already know everything you're saying. Just give it a damn rest already, you already agreed with me.
