So they skim off the best, big deal. When you are no longer battling for the first round draft pick kid who could take nearly any Division I team to at least the Sweet Sixteen, the pressure drops dramatically.

Change the CBA so any player turning down a G League offer has to wait two or three years to be draft eligible.

Changing the CBA isn't going to be easy. That decision is always up to the players currently in the league, and they feel no responsibility to look out for future players who will take their roster spot.

That brings up a question for which there is no satisfactory answer: Why does the law allow the NBA players and management to negotiate away the rights of people who are not yet NBA players?
