Yes.


You can get away with more body contact, and you can contest, close out, and recover quicker with better perimeter defenders.

If I remember right, when you go to the player editor you can see all of the player ratings.

Good defenders, will have a high "avoid foul mistakes rating" (I think thats what it is called)...which means you can can body up and have a better chance of avoiding contact fouls when players dive into the paint.
