When this Defense is played is your best outside or inside defender the '1' defending their best outside/inside scorer and the rest are in box or is the 1 just the defender from that position on the court?

I haven't really tested out those defenses yet, but my guess would be the rest of the players would be in a box. If you wanted to have 1 defender defending from a specified position on the court then I'd suggest going man and changing who matches up on who. I'd only consider the ISO defenses if I'm going up against an ISO offense and I've determined I don't have good overall 1-on-1 defenders but have at least one that can defend in the area I'm looking for (perimeter or inside) against a team with only 1 go to scorer.

So is it your best defender on their best scorer? Or is it pg on pg, sg on sg and so on?

Your best [inside or outside] defender is on their best [inside or outside] scorer and the rest of the players are in a zone playing defense with zone concepts, is what I figure.

Yeah that would make sense but the game manual just mentions 1 defender and their best scorer, not best defender on best scorer.

I think its hard to define it is 'best defender on best scorer'

their best scorer from the game might come somewhere else, because you defended their best scorer. Ironic.

Ive always assumed that Outside Box is - your best OD player. whom he defends? the best outside shooter from the opposition.
Is this the player that would have normally taken the most outside shots? not necessarily.

happy to hear otherwise from people. Ive played this defense a few times, so I might have some data I can scrounge up.

yes it does work against Patient offence quite well.

How do you know that your SF was picked as the and1 defender?

the SF defended most of the outside shots.

ahhhhhh but you see this is where it gets tricky.

just because a player takes the most shots in the game, doesn't mean the Boxn1 should defend them. Does it?
So maybe your And1 defended the best outside offensive player, and shut him down, and so the opposition had to revert to a different player shooting their shots. This player happened to be defended by your SF who was in the box.

so any assumptions made that 'their best offensive player is the guy who shoots the most shots in the game' is actually not always true.
