In one game, I had him guard the SF position, and in another game, he guarded the PG position.

What do you mean with "you had him guard"?
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.

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



So if my best inside defender, lets say he happens to be my best rebounder also, is appointed to guard @ SG position he will grab much less rebounds than if he was appointed to guard the C position. Great stuff

Read second Justin post.. He said that rebounding position is not affected by this defense and your players rebounds on their nominal positions (ones that you set before game).

If my interpretation of those two games is correct,
I guess that
inside box and one refers to choosing the "best" defensive player among the players who defend the PF and C positions,
while outside box and one refers to selecting the "best" defensive player among those defending the PG and SG positions.

As Justin said:

Also, when playing Outside Box and One the +1 defender calculation is more affected by OD. When playing Inside Box and One the +1 defender calculation is more affected by ID.


Does that mean your +1 defender will be your PF/C? No... I think it might be that if your PF/C are the ones with the highest OD+ID(+bonus)+SB formula, but maybe someone have a SG with great ID and it chooses him over their PF/C, right?


Then in order to play a great box+1, should we focus our gameplan in a different way? I don't know if this might be true but...

1. Try to imagine who is going to be the best offensive player of rival team.
2. Try to know if this player is going to shoot more from the paint or from outside.
3. Pick your "box and one" variant depending on who you want to play D on the rival player.
a) if you think the best offensive player will be an inside scorer, you must play "inside box and one" in order to get the best ID+SB defender over him.
b) if you think the best offensive player will be an outside scorer, you must play "outside box and one" in order to get the best OD defender over him.

Does that make any sense?

What I get from my assumptions is that Patience might be destroyed with a good "box and one", right?

Maybe you didn't follow my initial post (322487.9).
My guess is based on my interpretation of two games (it's also possible that I misinterpreted), rather than the content mentioned by BB-Justin in that post.

I don't think so.
I guess the two defensive strategies just select your "best" defensive player, then this player will defend the strongest offensive player of your opponent, no matter which the offensive player's nominal position is.

I have 3 players on my roster whose combination of OD+ID+SB equals 37, being those 3 my best defenders as a consequence.

One of them has very high OD, so I guess that if I choose outside box-and-one he will be the "one".

But what about the other two who are more inside oriented defensively? Is it correct to assume that in the case of inside box-and-one the player who has the higher ID will be chosen ? Or do sublevels play a part on this calculation?

For example:

Player 1: OD 10 ID17 SB 10 = 37
Player 2: OD 9 ID 15 SB 13 = 37

Player 1 has higher ID and should be the "one", right? But if you count sublevels, hipotetically player 1 adds to 37,4 and player 2 adds to 37,6. In this case, will player 2 be chosen as the "one"?
