The Eight Foot Two Schlub

Yes, but the NBA is full of very tall scrubs. His primary advantage is freakish height, with decent H/E coordination he might be a shot blocker, but teams could neutralize this by having his man move to the perimetr bringing him away from the basket. Or they could fast break a lot if he doesn't run well. On O, he will need to have skills to be able to score, being extremely tall isn't enough. If he has the H/E coordination and heart and strength to battle under the boards he could be a superior rebounder, esp. on D. Offensive rebounding requires quickness, good hands and a great deal of hustle, nothing in the OP gives him these traits.
