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

my guess is that if ur very tall someone will say you should play basketball whereas in the states most kids play basketball to some extent on their own volition.
Its harder to make it in the NBA/get given a chance as a 6’2 guard, more competition.
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
i wish Rugby would take off here. crazy fun to watch. also last i watched they had the crazy “3-D” adds painted on the field.
there is a finite amount of 6’8 and above humans in the planet, so it makes sense there are more international players in that range
