If you were going to build an NFL team using NBA players, who would you choose? SI's Point Forward did just that and 1 Raptor made the list (pretty good considering they just named starters, no depth guys). So who is it?

Tyler Hansbrough made the team as an outside linebacker due to his combination of toughness and motor. He joined Metta World Peace and Reggie Evans to form the LB corps (4-3 Defence was used).
What about the other Raps?
Demar would certainly seem to have the size and skill to be an elite WR (although you can't argue against the SI choices of Paul George and Kwahi Leonard).
Lowry would be a good fit as a hard hitting safety or even a RB.
JV and Amir would be undersized on either line (although JV will still fill out a bit more), so maybe a TE role.
Ross would be a good fit for either CB or WR.
Chuck Hayes would be a good fit as an interior lineman (Guard or Center) or as a D-lineman.
