Depends on what you mean by "scrub".

It looks like there are 2 traction wheels pressed against each basketball.

Consider the simple case where only one of those traction wheels is spinning.

There will be considerable pivoting friction between the ball and the other traction wheel. It may even bore a hole in the basketball.
