This is a ridiculous take
Really? You think a group of athletes who depend on quick, explosive movement pared with premium hand-eye coordination (middle infielders) would have a tough time transitioning to PG/SG? Or players whose balance and explosiveness who also have ++ hand-eye coordination (hockey players) wouldn't be able to transition? GTFO

I mean, they’d be a hell of a lot better than me

Yes. How many of those guys are 6-2?
NBA players are doing all of that at a min height of about 6-2.

Hockey and baseball are more skill-based games than athleticism-based games. Your typical hockey player may be bigger than baseball players (meaning they have traits beyond the physical barrier of entry), but hockey players lack the explosive movement ability that is required for the NBA (or NFL, for that matter).
