lockdown defender sig skill

[lostsoul]

i noticed a lot of big men have this skill assigned even though in-game and also on 2k's blog it's listed as being for perimeter players.

what gives?

Re: lockdown defender sig skill

kobe doesnt have it? but i'm not sure what bigmen you mean unless its historic players

Re: lockdown defender sig skill

^ya, kobe doesn't have it i dunno what fanboy is talking about. nor does dwight have it, though i think he deserves it with his multiple defensive awards and honors. i guess i am speaking mostly on historic players... i was surprised to see how many big men had this skill being as it refers to only perimeter players (although it does seems to work for interior players).

Re: lockdown defender sig skill

I'm guessing it's because these legendary big men were also great help defenders on the perimeter as well back in the day? It should be available for bigs though, as some bigs can absolutely neutralize others in real life (Garnett, Howard, Varejao, Perkins, Noah, healthy Bogut, Ben Wallace in his prime).

Of course, I guess that's what Defensive Anchor is for, but that just makes the player a great help defender as opposed to an individual defender.

A lockdown defender is generally a wing or perimeter defender not a post defender

Re: lockdown defender sig skill

It should be divided to Perimeter Lockdown Defender and Post Lockdown Defender then.

By definition, it's just a player who can neutralize the opponent's offensive signature skills, something bigs can do too.

It should directly negate the post proficiency if the big men have it. The only reason why I think some bigs have the skill.

Taj Gibson gets a spot on any fantasy draft roster I ever do from now on because of it.
