Is strength worth it?

[Goob63]

On any position really. But I did just make a thread earlier asking about a lockdown defender so that's what I'm asking about. Is it worth it? At 230 lbs I'll have 81 spd 80 lateral quick and 85 strength. At 180 I'll be 85/87/69...

Depends who you want to guard, if you want to be more perimeter oriented yeah the low weight helps, if you wanna guard bigger-men then your default is better.

My shot-creator has 52 strength and I notice a big difference on defense when they try to run past or through me.

Most perimeter players I see leave their strength at 0 upgrades or have a rating of 30s.

If you want favorable results when playing defense or making layups or going for posters, upgrade strength.

How big is you're guy?

definitely worth it with bigmen do not ignore it. if your a stretch big you can get away with not upgrading it much but i still wouldn't recommend it.
