Hello. quick question. as a general rule what is MORE important for a defender to have ID or SB when defending driving for a perimeter position (PG, SG)?

The Game Manual says that SB isn't very useful for perimeter players (guards). I would prefer more ID than SB on my guards, but that's my personal opinion. I'm sure other managers that have more experience with SB can give a more detailed answer.

Depends. In most cases I would say ID. Definitely ID, if you are a team that sticks to M2M defense for the majority of your games. SBing is more valuable in zones, but generally shotblocking is more for the 3-5 positions, so I will stick with the general consensus and say ID.
