i'm from boston but live in england,my son played at highest level here, our program put out some good basketball players and we played barcelona and one player from out team went to real madrid-the technical traniing in spain was very good but the level of competition just not the same-there is not a hoop in every driveway ,porsingis is too weak doesn't have the shoulders our premier club placed two teams in finals national championship had a all england player and the program produced one girl who plays in pros-the general level of competition in usa and size of population, not to say there are not certain talents over here and you can get diciplined skilled players often big men-but they will snap porzingas in two--i label him a project and huge bust
