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

    Basketball globally might be better, but the reason basketball in the US is so great is because all the money is in the US. Start messing around with pro-rel, and you risk a lot of the income that keeps the top players in the NBA. pro-rel is great for building local interest, it’s not good for keeping money in the league.
