Would you rather have a Center with Great Defense bad Offense or

[Imtheman]

Great offense bad defense?

[Im Still Ballin]

In today's rules?

Bad offense/Good defense

[dubnation]

Center is the most important position to have a good defender... so the first option. Unless I had completely inept offensive players at every other position.

[RightTwoCensor]

You can't play either in the 4th Quarter, so it's really a lose-lose.

[Im Still Ballin]

It's like saying

Eddie Curry or Joakim Noah

[SaltyMeatballs]

Depends how bad the good defensive center's offense is. Like if it's Kendrick Perkins, then im not taking him. I want someone like Hibbert or Noah.

[Im Still Ballin]

Good defense often leads to fastbreak opportunities which will always be more efficient than set plays in the half-court

[Smoke117]

The great defense obviously. The game in general is now more perimeter oriented offensively, so itt's more important that your center controls the paint defensively than he score.

Yes..top tier defense..

[ArbitraryWater]

Great defense/bad offense..

You don't need to run your O through the C, but if he's weak defensively he's a bit of a liability, or lets say makes the game much easier for opponents.

Eddie Curry or Joakim Noah

No, that is great appetite vs great defense.

So you're telling me that Ben Wallace was unplayable in the 4th quarters? :hammerhead:

[Hey Yo]

Tyson Chandler proved defense over offense. Dude can't even dribble.

He said great defense. Chandler is very good at most at his peak. He's the weakest big man defensively to ever be handed the DPOY.

[Lebron23]

Great Defensive Center

I agree that his DPOY was pretty weak but he did play great D the year before, during Dallas' Finals run.

[iamgine]

So...Shaq's offense with Boozer defense

or

Ben Wallace

I might take offense.

[RightTwoCensor]

Hack-a-Wallace all day, everyday.

For the offensive center, they'll get abused on the pick and role in crunch time just like Kevin Love does now.

Like I said, lose-lose.
