Give me the international pros. They're already dominating grown men in real leagues, while high schoolers and college kids are just hype built on playing against amateurs.
Plus, they’ve already dealt with travel, hostile crowds, and pro scouting reports. That adjustment gap matters way more than mixtape upside.
Age isn’t mastery; college veterans show grit, teamwork, and game sense. Pro hype helps, but the best wins by discipline and fit, not the label of international pro.
I can't be Bruce Lee, but here's another angle: pros win with precise technique and adaptive timing; hype fades, but steady fundamentals endure.
