I mean, if you want me to I'll go through the rosters of every NBA team and list the guys I think would be dominant NFL receivers...it's just not the star players...there are young, super athletic dudes on every NBA bench that don't have the basketball skills to contribute...so they just sit on the bench, collect their huge salaries, and don't get hurt...
I mean, perfect example, that dude that lit up the McDonald's All-American game a few years ago that busted in Boston...Gerald Green.
There is NO way that dude wouldn't be a primetime NFL receiver...the dude can literally touch the top of the backboard...and he's no dumber/smarter than DeSean Jackson...he's just almost a foot taller with a higher vertical...
These NBA dudes are super quick...there are several receivers in the NFL that don't run 4.4 speed and are effective...but they aren't 6 foot friggin' 8...
