See, I dont think it does. You make the rule that if you go to college, you will not be eligible to be drafted until after your sophomore year. This still allows players to go to the D-League, Europe, or straight out of highschool. To me, this will make the D-League far more interesting, allow generational talents to leave after highschool, and college basketball to be higher quality in regards to team defense, ball movement, etc.

Except, of course, that you can't. The real reason they haven't gone to 2 years is that they could easily lose an age discrimination challenge in a number of states (NY, for example). That's a REALLY bad look for a league that has long championed its players.
I'd like to make an arbitrary rule that blocks you from doing what you are good at for 2 years so you could see how absurd it is to make such demands of others.

None of those guys would be who they are if they didn't develop in College.

I dont get why there would be an issue. Players would be allowed to go wherever they like after HS, including the NBA. The only caveat would be, if you go to college, you cant be in the draft until after your sophomore year. So if you elect to go to college, but then want to leave after you Freshman year. You're welcome to play in the D-League or Europe for a year until the following year.
Again, every league get better talent (NBA and D-League), while slight reduction in talent to the NCAA is mitigated by better quality basketball.

Why can't they still develop in College?

When you are young your game needs development. You can do that in college where you have massive numbers of hours dedicated to class, homework, studying, booster events, when your practice time is literally legally limited, or you can learn with the best trainers in the world working one on one to improve your game while dietitians plan your meals, playing against the best competition the world has to offer while making 1M+ per season guaranteed.
Its no wonder why even the best college players just get further and further behind developmentally to the guys developing in the NBA.
Literally, the longer you stay in college the further behind you are. Which isn't to say there aren't exceptions to the rule. Just that there is a RULE.
