Now that I lost, almost beat Syracuse, I am wondering, cause that guy had crazy success in man to man. Is he a defensive stopper? He handled 900 + scorers day in and day out during the season and the tournament.

Why would you put defense on your main scorer? I have defense in all my positions except for shooting gaurd which is my main scorer. Doesn't make sense really... Yes he is a defensive stoper because defense is his higher rating. You're defensive stoper needs to be your c atleast with alot of shot blocking and defense.
What? Defense is good at every position, it's not smart to purposely keep defense low at SG just because you want him to be your main scorer. I can't decide if you're a bad troll or actually just really naive
he's not trolling, he is new and a bit out there in general (no offense coach ward, i don't mean that in a bad way at all - im just saying that you express things in your own way), so that's the issue. he has only played d3 and has no idea what d1 is like. the point hes trying to make is that it doesn't make sense to focus on defense on your main scorer, which is valid, but it comes across strangely. i think he also is taking zorzii's original question a bit differently than intended.
coach ward, zorzii is just asking if, relative to high d1 ratings, coaches would consider a guy with those ratings, to be a strong defensive player. i think you are reading "defensive stopper" and thinking about something else. zorzii is not asking if this guy can anchor the paint for the whole team or anything - hes merely asking if having the lower ath/spd rating is an issue or if that 100 def is enough to make his guy a great defender.
to answer that question... he is a GREAT defender for your team, for a C prestige clemson squad. for high level BCS play, hes still a fairly strong defender. a 90/90/90 guy would be slightly better (very slightly), and that is a high quality defender for any team, pretty much. so, i think your guy is kind of on the border, of being a great defender, from a high d1 standpoint.
