Delivers on-ball defense with control and responsiveness, letting you stay with the ball carrier and cut off the drive through skill-based timing windows.

IN THE POST

Be in position to control bigs and use size and strength to blow by your opponent, cut off the drive, protect the basket, or score down low.

ON-COURT AWARENESS
