    Because the best players get positions on NBA teams. It's the ones who can't get on an NBA team who play for Italy and other countries. Why would he play for a place that couldn't pay him very much?

    Why would he. He’s not going to win any medals. By playing, he risks injuries. If he gets injured, it could affect his salary in the near future.
