    Re: How we can learn from Foreign Basketball

    that's is true but it's a shame because it will never happen. Why would america's youth practice fundamentals when they see Telfair getting a huge Addidas deal. They will go for instant money rather than having a game someone could respect.

        Re: How we can learn from Foreign Basketball

        This is an issue speaks to a number of things which is that I think european basketball players learn to play in a club system where the US kids learn it on a playground more frequently. Until there is a system to get kids to play in a more structured way early on in their development then there will be this discrepancy. Also there is the issue of appeasing prodigies in the process of recruiting them (which sometimes occurs when they are in jr high). So a lot of the coaches who get bluchip talent (at the HS level) are so glad to have the kid they will let the kid do whatever he wants which is ******ing his development. With that in mind, a blue chipper would go to a college program and become part of a program that was often driven by team (college is more about the coach) concepts but those days are gone largely because the NBA allows the HS kids to enter the NBA early and compound the problem by drafting them so high. So the problem with American basketball is a sequence of shortcomings not just one thing. Im not sure if you have to fix one thing for remedy or all of the problems i mentioned. BTW, admittedly ive only mentioned some things. But the initial shortcoming is cultural and socio-economic.

            let me just say thank god for Greg Oden. Right now he is a HS Junior and the next prodigy big man. He has said that he has never even thought to go straight to the NBA and that he really wants to go to college. This kid is a phenom and would no doubt go number one but HE ACTUALLY WANTS TO GO TO SCHOOL! The more and more these other kids enter I am leaning closer to wanting the age limit and to have a almost definite number one outta HS support that, It's just great.

            When he does enter the league he and Yao will be the only decent big men in the league and just dominate, but this is one thing I would rather wait for then get right away.

                Just one year with the correct coach teaching them the correct things would help. If Amare had come to Memphis just one year and learn under Calipari, I think he'd have some better post moves. I don't know if you can improve your range a bunch in one year, but he'd be better on the block. However, its just too hard to give up that money.
