To enter the NBA draft because other than can't miss freaks like LeBron, the jump is too big to evaluate their impact. This is essentially the Kwame Brown rule. High school players who have a 5th year in prep school were the only exceptions- Simon's and the point guard who was supposed to ho to NC State. They much prefer this one year G League apprenticeship program.

To your point, a 2 year rule might be the pathway to the nba having an actual minor league system like baseball or hockey.
