If the high school pitcher can throw a decent curve ball the NBA team has almost no chance. Not to mention that tall (>6'3") guys with long arms will have huge holes in their swings, something I know from personal experience since I grew from 6' at 18 to 6'4" at 22. My armspan is 6'7" and when I first went to a batting cage at my adult height I couldn't believe how hard hitting a basesball had become (especially inside pitches). In order to use my old bats, I had to choke up and stand outside of the batters box to be able to hit any inside pitches. And in the NBA, length is even more important than height, so the NBA players will really suffer here. If the NBA team has a decent pitcher and shortstop they may be able to keep the score respectable. Infield defense would be a major problem for the NBA team since 2b is an extremely difficult position for very tall guys to play, they won't have the lateral agility necessary to play the position. SS is also tough to play if one is tall, so the starting and backup PGs (the two shortest guys on the team) would be forced to play these two positions giving their manager no flexibility at all.
