I would almost exclusively advise anyone putting defense in their build to run the 4 instead of the 5. You're much more likely to get a CPU when you're at the 4 and this way you can cheat off your man to get much more help defense blocks from the weakside. Plus, that athleticism really only comes into play when you're running in getting the actual SNAG animations. The counter to that, the bigs that are real are going to be sitting in the paint 90% of the time that's why you see so many sharps there. If you can pull at least the CPU away from the basket and any other bigs you're essentially creating driving lanes and 1 on 1 match ups with the big if they switch on screens. If you're running the 4 you've either got to be fast, or be able to shoot, or both. Lol my buddy has a 6'10 athletic first, shot Creator second and he can hit 3s, gets relentless HOF, and swears he plays better paint defense than his 7'2 rim protector.

Essentially, for online purposes, defense is useless. Especially at the big positions, your size is what matters most. You're not even getting much having rebounding secondary. If you're doing a hybrid big it's much more valuable to have shooting or athleticism or both.
