This is exactly what the D league needs to do.
Not everyone is cut out for college. Some of our own kids may not be college material. It is unfair to say you have to go to college to play in the NBA. There needs to be another option. 
Maybe the D league needs to have a cap on how many "out of hs" players they can have. Still want to push players who can handle it towards college. But don't put a square peg in a round hole for some of the kids. 
Also by going through the D league younger players can get life skills as you mentioned such as how to invest their money, pay bills, be responsible etc., or they can take cc courses or courses in non basketball power house colleges where they can excel better in studies. This way there is another option for someone who maybe has a learning disability or is just not a very good student, and they can be set up where they can succeed better. Yet they all get the same chance for the big time in the end.
