There are only a few skills that translate seamlessly to the NBA. The first is passing ability and floor vision. Even if you are not an elite athlete, being a high-level passer will make you playable in a lot of cases. Of course, you have to have other skills, but being a passer helps a lot of point guards stick. The next is defense. Most rookies find themselves on the bench more often than not simply due to a lack of defense. It is players like Matisse Thybulle and Brandon Clarke that show defense typically translates to the NBA with ease.
