When playing the 1-3-1 defense is the following true?

The defender set to play D as PG will be the point defender
and
The defender set to play D as C will be the back defender under the basket


If this is correct, then would it be best to play the best OD in the PG defensive position, and the best SB and RB in the C defensive position, or the best ID and RB in the C defensive poition?

Thanks

I believe that that is the case but there have been debates about it before as to whether the center plays the guy under the basket or directly in the middle. In my opinion however you shouldn't play 1-3-1 but instead go with 3-2. 1-3-1 provides the other team with many more offensive rebounds and a lot more inside shots that they make... maybe its just me though.

I think 3-2 would be a better and safer choice. I tried 1-3-1 in a scrimmage, but didnt defend very well.

In order to defend well in 1-3-1 tactics, does C need OD (or SB?) and PG need ID ?

C needs more OD than normal in all zones because of switching if the zone breaks down. In the 1-3-1 if he is playing the middle he'll defend mid range jumpers, if he is playing under the bucket he's responsible for the baseline, so he'll need to defend baseline jumpers. So yes, OD is needed.

SB for C is a plus, but not a must have or it won't work like in 2-3. He needs a lot more REB honestly for your team to overcome the REB deficiency.

PG with ID is nice if they switch and to defend drives if they don't get a switch... but SB might actually be better for the PG (and the wings as well) then for the C.

I found that your inside D was way worse than the outside D...
