Thanks for you reply!

1: OD, ID, SB are the used for the calculation. If your best defender is your PF, he will be the +1.
Could you please elaborate on that. Are they all taken in equal measure? Also, what you say would imply that the +1 defender is always the same guy (with GS being equal ofc), no matter what type of box-and-one is used. Could you confirm that?

The way to confirm that is using it in your games. Once setted this defense, if you review the play by play of your game, you would see that your determined best defender (OD + ID + SB) is always defending your rival's best attacker

Thanks. Of course I am processing the play-by-plays, not manually most of the time. It is challenging to make a reasonable assumption, however, when your best combo defender is also your best inside defender, your best outside defender and your best shot blocker at the same time.

Also, my own research indicates that the +1 defender rebounds at his nominal position which is inconsistent with what Nachtmahr said. That's why I'm looking for more input.

This is true. The rebounding position doesn't "move around" with the +1 defender

Thanks Justin, this is something new (for me). The old games indicated, that the +1 moved around, but than it was a wrong conclusion from the data.

I guess that which position to guard will affect the decision of +1 (the one who plays man-to-man).

During the middle of the 59th season, I bought a defensive player (48388362).
Regardless of OD, ID, or SB, he is the best defender on the team.
I wanted to test out the Box-and-one strategy, but upon watching the match replay, I found that he doesn't seem to be the +1 player.
It happens in two games, both using the Inside Box and One strategy.
In one game, I had him guard the SF position (setting), and in another game, he guarded the PG position (setting).

What do you mean with "you had him guard"? The +1 defender is calculated by the engine and the engine also decides, who he is going to guard. You can set him up as SF and play than Inside Box. The engine will decide, who the "best" opposing outside player is and your +1 will guard him. If this is the PG, your +1 will switch from SF to PG on defense. As far as I know, we managers have no influence on the directly guarded position in a Box defense (for the +1).

My intention refers to the setting in "I want my... to play defense as..." section.

But this should not apply to the +1 defender in the Box.

My understanding:
Your SF is your best defender.
You set him to defend the opposing PG.

Now you play one of the Box defenses.
The best opposing player is e.g. the SG.
Your +1 should switch now to defend the SG.
So the Box overrules your setting. The other positions set up the Box.
