Tony Allen DEFENSIVE Rankings Iso: .75 points per play, 36.1% fg, ranked 98th Pick and Roll: .62 points per play, 30.2% fg, ranked 13 Avery Bradley DEFENSIVE Rankings Iso: .67 points per play, 30.3% fg, ranked 43 Pick and Roll: .65 points per play, 33.3% fg, ranked 19 Avery Bradley is also the #1 ranked defender statistcally according to synergy sports for players who have defended 200+ possesions Avery Bradley should have a 95+ on-ball D. he is the ONLY player in basketball who guards the ball handler all 94 feet of the court. if you are going to make ranking threads, and say stuff is HANDS DOWN no contest...prove it

look if you dont like it, i dont care, this isn't about real life, it's about the ratings in 2K. I just put their real-life accomplishments and stuff so it could just support it.

Something the OP doesn't include in his rankings but which affects defense in the game dramatically is the player's Strength rating -- and not just for post players. Wings and points with high strength make much better defenders too.

well it's ok, and i purposely used the 2K's crappy roster. If i used mine, it would be a better ranking. But more people use 2k's roster.

Nice one, man, I actually didn't know strength could do anything but helping out post players.

Yeah, perimeter defenders need strength to be able to either force or avoid certain animations.

You can see it play out if you use Avery Bradley (strength: ~30) to guard someone like Nate Robinson (strength: ~75). Nate will sometimes be able to just bull-rush right into him and keep going.

BTW.. where did you get these stats from? They're pretty good.

Another factor overlooked is quickness and speed when it comes to perimeter defense. In this game Shumpert (84 OBD 90 Qui 92 Speed) is a better on ball defender then Selofosha (88 OBD 72 Qui 69 Speed).
