Would Basketball in the US be better If they switched to a system and culture like Europe?

For example like Player development:

Would It be better for Players to play for Academies instead of High Schools and AAU Clubs?

Another Example: Should there be a league system with multiple divisions that involves regulation and delegation?

Like NBA would be 1st tier

G-League could be 2nd tier

TBL could be 3rd tier

Then there would be smaller national leagues and regional leagues

    Players in the US would be better if they played more street ball instead of AAU. You cannot just hoop anymore if you are a kid you need to play for a system or a coach. Europe it is easier for kids to kind a playground with a basketball court because they build their cities for people and not cars and it is much safer. If you look at recent drafts more straight hoopers have come out of Europe than the US.
