They would have to be an elite basketball player or a team in desperate need of something that person can bring them.
Random memory I have regarding that very point. During the 2OT game at Texas in 2007, BCG put Jerrod Johnson into the game to attempt to inbound the ball the length of the floor. JJ didn't end up throwing it the length of the court (he dumped it off to Acie), but I can only assume that is why he was in the game.
Looking through his game log that year it looks like JJ only played in three games.
Anyways, throwing a long pass the length of the court is probably the best example of a football player being able to help a basketball team by doing one thing exceptionally well.
