Prove me wrong: You need >90 spd, 92 agility and red on-ball menace to be an effective POA defender/lock.
Seen a lot of bluster from the community recently on how 80s pd can be an elite defender and/or anything 80s speed/agility can cover meta pgs.
Don't waste your money on what they selling. Sure, find the height and wingspan you like, go as low as 85 steal if you want, you want some block or intD for balance, awesome.
But if you really want a comp poa lock, you need these three things, non-negotiable:
- 92 agility
- 99 PD
- Red On-Ball Menace
Backend locks or casual squad/solo play, of course move stuff around to your pleasure (go taller, higher steal, lower PD, etc. for backend) and go have your fun locking up wings in random rec with those 80ish physical builds, but if you want to keep up with those PGs that can actually play, you gotta follow the bullets above.
Or tell me I'm wrong below!
