I cannot disclose the results too accurately, but I have been testing at highest levels, and I can confirm this :

- When it comes to blocking opposing big men, a reasonably good combination of inside defense / shot blocking is much moire efficient than a high inside defense alone. Thus a 14/13 player is much better than a 18/9. Not to mention that wages issue are much better in the first case.

Right now I am hoping to find an inside player with decent JS/JR + high ID/SB in order to use outside tactics successfully, all while negating the effect of an opposing LI.

When it comes to blocking opposing big men then 7/20 is better than 14/13. But when it doesn't come to blocking opposing big men then 20/7 is better than 14/13.

Mmm sorry, bad word used.

When it comes to denying the opposing big men's scoring abilities, is what I meant.

And also I don't agree with you.

I had the chance to test out a player with a unique skill set, with inferior defending and better shot block, he outperformed other player types with higher defense ratings.

Lowering number of shots attempted by big men still isn't full success of defence because other player still can score. And please imagine what can happen in scenario like this. If your the best shotblocker is C, 2nd is PF and subsequently SF, SG and PG and the best inside scorer of opponent is PG, and next SG, SF, PF and C in that order then your SB will do opponent a favor.
So you need to always set the best shotblocker against the best opponent's inside scorer or you should have all player with the same SB, and it's impossible, escpecially if you train SB.
Meanwhile there is no problem with ID because it works as team stat, not as head to head like SB.

How could I access a lot of data about that ?

I can only report what I know from my own experience. That's more a "take it or leave it".

I'd be glad to see such a study though.

ID works as a team stat?
Does that mean a high ID C improves the ID of a PG in M2M defense?
My experience does not support this. I would even say ID is purely head to head while SB enables help defense on a much higher scale than ID.

If thats the case then how about OD? Do 4 OD 20 PG to PF increase the OD of that OD 1 C that defends the opposing SG who plays on C at patient and still scores 70?
Or is ID different than OD in this regard?
I have seen good IS PG to SF running circles around high ID low SB big man at LI when their opposing m2m defenders had lowish ID, so i am not convinced.
