Who is the better defender? Topic

Can ten point in athleticism and speed make up for 10 points in defense?

Player A 60 ath, 80 speed, 50 defense
Player B 50 ath, 70 speed, 60 defense.

IMO yes

if it were 5 pts in each then its a toss up

M2M for a D2 SG. IQs are about equal.

Player B is a much better offensive player but is a senior transfer and player A is a true soph with a lot of potential left.

So play player B in must-win games and A the rest of the time.

A will be a slightly better defender, but not massively so.  Assuming you want B's offense in the lineup against tough opponents, go with what I said above.  If you like him better scoring off the bench then just start A forever...  I don't know what B's specific offensive talents are, and whether he'd be good in the 2- or 3-position backup role.

So kind of weird I just randomly looked at your profile and noticed we have the exact same number of total wins.

And the same number of titles.  And only one season played worth of difference.

Both very successful in HD, that is odd to see such similar numbers though.

I don't think either one of them are "good" defenders.  I think player A could be a decent offensive threat with the right other stats.

To answer the original question, I think player B is slightly better but not significantly.
