My 2 cents are that you need to value athleticism, speed, and defense more in recruiting and value PER/LP less.

Somewhat here.

You don't need all 12 players to score, and have high PER/LP. So a nice mix and balance is good. Playing Man to Man defense, its a MUST to have high defensive players. You should be able to hit 75 Team Defense. As Benis mentioned, D2 championship caliber teams can hit those marks. And with Man to Man, you don't wanna opponents to see a 47 DEF guy in your lineup to feast on! Defense is really important in M2M.

Bulls' ATH/SPD/DEF comment is definitely correct. But I wouldn't value PER/LP less. Just don't focus on it for every single player. If a player has 0 PER & LP there's still plenty of useful things he can do on the court.
