Is high OD enough? Or that player should have adequate ID and SB skills?

High OD should be enough for guarding outside skills. If you have bigs that have high ID and SB that would be nice to have in a 3-2 defense too.

At the risk of channeling Captain Obvious, the game manual suggests the following; and while the PBP does its best to keep secret who it is the "fifth defender" is guarding (why that is I have no idea) this is consistent with my experience:

Inside Box-and-One: The fifth defender focuses on the opponent's best inside scorer. Normal pace.

Outside Box-and-One: The fifth defender focuses on the opponent's best outside scorer. Normal pace.
