Excluding Canada which basically has the same development system as America, why is the rest of the world not producing any good guards? All the good international players are 6'8+. Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Siakam, Sabonis, Markannen, Porzingis, Sengun, Gobert etc. Meanwhile who is the best small international player? Dennis Schroder? Kind of an interesting discrepancy

If you look at sports worldwide, there’s a few much more popular than basketball like soccer, cricket, hockey, and tennis. And then there’s other sports like rugby that aren’t popular in America.

But if you are 6’8” basketball is an obvious choice
