Develops to what though? How many professional players does it produce? Even D1 college? All of the big names at the EYBL tournament were already known before the tournament even started
A ton of players at every level come from playing AAU at some point in their lives lmao. EYBL isnât the only places these top players have played, and there are non top prospects trying to literally development that we just donât care about.
we're not looking too bad @Gyro
that US run at the end of the half has me a little shook. felt great prior.
these same superior players have been dominating the Olympics for decades đđ
I mean they should the rest of the world started caring about basketball like 30 years after us lol
We can show respect to AAU and the European Academies/professional leagues while also acknowledging that they serve different purposes
How about u show some damn respect to this country u dirty liberal

86 pts isnt ideal but Iâll take it
You canât compare what Kyrie is doing to that s*** lmao
Whatâs the difference?

Yeah I'm pretty sure damn near every American NBA player played AAU at some point, but my point is how many of those guys were already highly ranked prospects beforehand and how much did AAU contribute to their development as players?

still on trend. i thought we were gonna get out sub 80 smh
It's effective at producing elite prospects who were/are already elite. It's basically just the best prospects going off. There is no development, zero coaching, very low level play calling, it's just not on par with European academies as far as player development goes
Isnât college where they learn what theyâre missing. Itâs hard to not to cater to stars when theyâre the most talented and physically gifted than the other kids. European players are probably more rounded at a younger age, but I feel like that goes away once players go through college.

They acting like there are no busts in Europe and they all become Luka and Jokic

Saying the development difference is the reason Team USA is struggling right now still doesnât make sense lmao, their development has always been different.
The reason they are struggling is because of chemistry and the fact that they are playing with different rules. These are NBA players lmfao.
Wish I could be eating a nice Big Mac rn with some Nuggets

Not really cause any worthwhile American player spends like 6 months practicing at college
They acting like there are no busts in Europe and they all become Luka and Jokic
Which is precisely why AAU shouldn't be getting so much slander. Fundamentals can only take you so far
