Guess that makes sense. College is obviously seen as the "next step" to most of these kids. Assume that is why so few of them are going overseas.

i would think the distance would sometimes be a deterrent too. going overseas for a guy just leaving the nest is a pretty big leap.

Yeah, going to Europe for just a year or so wouldn't be as easy as it may sound.
The teams are pretty good in terms of guys that could be close to making NBA rosters with years of pro experience. Not the easiest setting to simply waltz into and do well immediately while also dealing with all the cultural/language differences.
Also clubs aren't really going to bend over backwards for an 18yo that wants to play one season either unless he's really an out and out superstar or signs a longer deal.
