Kids currently at 18 can go the D league route or overseas. No one is stopping them. Very few choose to take those options. The D league is a job with mostly less than $30k salary. Overseas is much more lucrative but risky depending on where and who you play for. They pay more to high profile high school players but inexperienced young players aren't in demand. Even if the go straight to NBA Route is adopted, how many would be drafted - 5 high school players?

There is no demand for their talents except colleges. If there was money to be made off a post high school league - it would have been done. Kids want to use colleges and colleges use the kids. It's not a one sided relationship, it's symbiotic. Colleges should be selective and only go after kids who want a college education, be a student , regardless of talent. It should be the NBA or the individual player's issue if talented kids who aren't ready, want to head straight to the NBA, not college's issue.
