They’re not and haven’t been a Kia for decades
Europe’s basketball leagues are Kia especially in the eyes of American kids… no American EVER grew up saying “I want to play European basketball 🥹” yet every kid shooting hoops in his driveway or at the park dream of sending their team to the finals or the final 4… I’d be surprised if they could even name a European team name other than by the country.
There are definitely reasons to go early to whatever league, Mika’s we’re not any of them
