You are generalising. There are a lot of talented 18 year olds in the European Leagues, Darko included (he played a little over 20 min/g, not 10), that are starters in their teams and play heavy minutes. Still can't see why you'd prefer drafting a high-school-kid over such a player. The only reason might be that you are exposed to the top high-school-players on a weekly basis, if the are hyped as much as LeBron was and you don't know anything about international basketball, because you have no chance to see it. That's why teams have scouts.
