the most important thing in the NBA is height.
it’s a major factor. the skill level needed to compensate for that is large.
So I wonder how many of these guys are also NFL fast or are you just finding 30 jump ball redzone options?
On the NFL side, speed strength and athleticism can take you unbelievably far, but we have no idea who has a jump shop anywhere near the level you need.

That's all it is. He's saying he can find 30 NBA bodies that can line up at tight end and run short and intermediate routes effectively due to their height. And I believe there's some truth to that.
Aside from that, an NBA player doesn't translate anywhere else on a football field. And the notion that NFL players could play in the NBA is even crazier; they simply lack the skill level.
I don't even think an NBA player would be effective as a WR as they'd be matched up against pure cover guys that can blanket them.
