The way young players are brought up in European sports is quite different than the way Americans are brought up. Promising young players are put into youth academies where they go to school and receive the top coaching available(vs. high school coaching in the US, which is often rubbish). By the time a player over there is 18, he is able to deal with the media, act like a professional player, and usually doesn't end up on the police report.

So are you arguing against having an age limit or what?

I am for an age limit. If that means the international players have to wait, so be it!

That would be the only reason i would be for an age limit.

But also look at all of the high school players that became all-stars 2 of the best shooting guards in the league of out of high school, half the all-star roster is from high school. I think I have a delimma.

Re: Where are they now???

Half of the league's all-stars came straight out of college?? I don't think that ir right. Anyone know where we can find all-star rosters?? THe only ones I can think of are:

Kobe, T-Mac, Garnett

I know I'm missing someone here.

I have a delimma too, your math. 4 out of 24 total all-stars is 16.7%, far short of the 50% you claimed. If you take out the three all-stars that came from over seeseas, you still have a percentage of 19%.
