They don't want to tip off who the question is about, as they have only one team.
So the question was, in essence, which of two guards would be a better man to man matchup to exploit.  The faster one with the weaker defense of the slower one with the stronger defense?
 

A:
SPD: 60
ATH: 40
DEF: 40
STA: 85
or


B:
SPD: 47
ATH: 40
DEF: 65
STA: 75

I'm assuming equal IQ's here - I think A is the weaker defensive player.  Defensively, a 25-point DE edge outweight a 13-point SPD edge, IMO, even for a guard.

What level of IQ difference would make up the difference?

I don't think theres much of a difference between each player. Not enough to noticably have a match up advantage.

I'd say B is the better defender unless there is a large IQ difference.  If the IQ's are even remotely close, then B is a better defender than A.

Yeah.  I was thinking, mostly, 'six of one, half a dozen of the other', but wanted to see if anyone thought different.

what about tempo and stamina? B has worse stamina - what is his back up like? can you go uptempo and force a favorably match up by fatiguing the opponent?
