an actual Opposite AAU essentially needs to pop up
Impossible, AAU is where all the money and recognition is and it's because of the way it's run (player before the team mentality).
It's sad because it is hurting the game.

Not impossible. Improbable. The NBA itself needs to take an active interest in these kids at a younger age. AAU is huge, but the NBA is obviously bigger. Were the NBA to come out and endorse a separate system that focuses on being more "NBA ready", it would obviously have the attention of a good portion of the young elite talent. You wouldn't eliminate AAU due to their sheer volume, but they honestly don't need that volume. Getting half of the top 100 prospects would be enough to make a sizable difference, especially if they see it having an impact on getting drafted.
