The ones who are decent in the NBA probably would have been good straight out of high school. Now you get a lot not making it and going to the D League. 3 years would also help get the college game a consistent name recognition. By the time you know who the best players are in college, they are gone. There isn't any type of watching a player keep getting better over a few years so there are less "stars" coming out of college.
I actually think the one-and-done has clearly helped the NBA, it's just really hurt college basketball. And I know Adam Silver is pushing for it to become a mandatory 2 years because that would help the NBA further. And I think that is the line at which it would become very beneficial to college basketball.

If you push the 'come straight out of HS or 3 years in college,' then I think you're going to see a ton of kids go into the draft out of HS and then if they aren't picked, go the international route. I just don't think enough of the top kids are going to accept going to college for 3 years.
