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

    They’ve won the Olympics 8 out of the last 9 tries with NBA players.

    What Men’s Team Sport can claim something like that? And this isn’t some stupid little sport, the NBA is one of the biggest sporting leagues in the world, its players are some of the richest and well known athletes globally outside of Soccer, and it’s a well contested sport by affluent nations. Yao Ming, for instance, is arguably China’s most famous athlete ever.
