Telfair just makes me believe even more that the NBA needs to set up a minor league program with the NBDL. What exactly is preventing them from doing this?

How many quality players have come from the NBDL? 0?
There is a minor leagues, it's called college.

I think you're agreeing with me but you don't even know it. The reason that zero quality players have come from the NBDL is because teams can't send players down there without risking losing them to another team. If they could, then the NBDL would be a lot better, we would get to watch young stars flourish in the NBDL instead of sit on the bench in the NBA, and most importantly it would greatly help the players.
College doesn't pay the players any money, so financially it doesn't make sense for them. Under my proposal, they would be signed to an NBA contract and making the same money, but they'd be playing in the NBDL(note that every player in the NBDL wouldn't belong to an NBA team or have an NBA contract though).
