By the 2022 NBA Draft
I realize I'm not objective on this. I live CBB and haven't any use for the NBA. It certainly isn't fair to an HS senior to tell them, "You are qualified to make million, but you have to wait a year." Every minute, every play, every step, you run the risk of a catastrophic injury and a career in fast food. But it hurts CBB. And it might hurt the kids. Look at what is happening with shoe companies circling around 16-18 year old kids. Now you'll have the NBA in junior high gyms. Has to be a middle ground, one that helps everyone. The baseball model would be perfect. Player can be drafted out of HS, but if he goes to college, he in ineligible until he's a junior. But no one in the NBA wants this. It happened before, was there more HS draftees who succeeded than not? I seem to remember that for every Kevin Garnett, there were many Lloyd Daniels.

Go to Europe or China to play professionally. Yup. Given the preponderance of international leagues, I don't understand why any high school basketball player would want to play in college, other than that it's the traditional path. If you play in a foreign you get paid and get professional experience (dealing with agents/management/all that shit that is TECHNICALLY not allowed for college athletes to participate in). It's a no-brainer to me. As far as I'm concerned, the NCAA is a scam.

After 1 year, he got drafted to the NBA. I think I'd rather have $1M than being a broke "student-athlete." Brandon Jennings Wikipedia

Other than high lottery picks, I'm not sure I'd want my team drafting teenagers only to see them walk once they're actual seasoned pros.
Tracy McGrady comes to mind around these parts.
As for the NCAA entertainment factor, there will always be 'the best players' even if the blue chippers aren't there - the next best will become the best as it were. Storylines will still exist for players including the tournament.
