This was not always true decades ago when some Europeans would rather stay in Europe, but it has become clear that the level of competition and the profitability of the NBA is on an entirely different level now, and basketball players around the world would almost always want to change the trajectory of their lives by making it to the league. In most cases, the journey to the NBA, especially for Americans, seems to be set in stone. A player has to go through high school to get enough exposure from college and NBA scouts. If a player is good enough, one year in college is more than enough to get drafted into the league. But if a player feels that he still needs to develop his game more in college, they usually spend a longer time in the collegiate ranks. Whatever the case may be, the journey to the NBA has almost always been about going through high school and college in the United States. The same is not true for international players, but Americans almost always need to go through this process if they want to get enough exposure to make it to the big league.
