Re: Defense Anchor: Is it the key to TRUE defense?

A guy like Marc Gasol(he deserves the Defensive Anchor if you've watched him direct a defense) doesn't make a sniff of difference to a elite defensive specialist like Tony Allen but he helps guys like Mike Conley, Bayless, Arenas(when he was there), etc who have the tools become better defenders. Make it so guys who don't suck on defense(Steve Nash) and guys who aren't put over the top(Durant, Westbrook) don't benefit.

This is random but PJ Tucker of the Phoenix Suns deserves the lockdown skill just as much as anyone but because the Phoenix Suns suck he doesn't get his due.
Try using Marcus Camby and Tyson Chandler in your front court online...both have anchor. I swear it feels like all my defensive sliders have been boosted to 100, I did it as an experiment and it was SEVERELY over powered.

This is the line-up for best defensive cheese results :


Kidd (pick pocket)
Shumpert (lockdown)
Melo
Camby(anchor)
Chandler(anchor)

... really you don't even need Melo, a defensive SF would make it work better.
