Make every kid eligible for the draft at 18. 
Have a combine a la the NFL for all kids in April. Players can visit up to 5 teams with the teams paying the expenses.

If an 18 year old kid is drafted then the team drafting has to assign them to their D-league team for atleast 1 year. If the player signs with their NBA team they get 1 year D-league contract and a one year guaranteed contract and three team option years.

If the 18 year old player doesn't  sign with NBA team the player can go play college basketball and not enter the draft until after their junior year. However teams keep the rights of kids they draft and can negotiate contracts with their kids. Kids can't leave until after their Sophomore season or second year removed from HS. If the two sides can't agree the junior reenters the draft.

Players drafted after their junior year get 3 yr guaranteed contracts with no team options.

Kids who aren't drafted after their Junior year or third year removed from HS become FAs after their 4th year removed from HS and can negotiate with any team.

This allows kids who want to go pro the ability to do so and it helps teams scout kids.
