Key Change in Motion Style Testing
1. Offensive Sprint Animations: These provide short bursts of speed but are less consistent.
2. Defensive Sprint Animations: These offer more aggressive, constant animations, resulting in faster sprint speeds.
Since defensive sprints are more consistent, players often feel faster on defense than on offense. This revelation changes how we evaluate motion styles, so today I'll be retesting the motion styles on defense for a more accurate comparison.
Offensive Sprint Speed Rankings
Starting with offense, here's a breakdown of some of the top motion styles for players 6'10" and above. Due to popular demand, I've added players like Draymond Green, Pascal Siakam, and Zion Williamson to this list. However, the following motion styles continue to dominate:
- Nikola Jokić and Deandre Ayton (Tied for 1st)
- Anthony Davis (2nd)
- Daniel Gafford (3rd)
These players have some of the best offensive sprint animations, giving you that quick burst to get past defenders in short windows.
Defensive Sprint Speed Rankings
Now let's switch over to defense, where players typically experience faster, more aggressive sprint animations. Here's the updated ranking for defensive motion styles:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (1st)
- Anthony Davis (2nd)
- Kevin Durant (3rd)
On defense, these players excel at closing gaps, covering more ground, and positioning themselves quickly to contest shots or secure rebounds.
Sprint Speed Comparisons
To give you a clearer picture of these rankings, let's look at how some top players stack up in terms of their overall speed.
- Anthony Davis is the most balanced option, ranking 2nd on defense and 3rd on offense. This makes him an excellent choice for players who want a well-rounded option that performs consistently on both ends of the court.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo shines defensively, but the gap between the top defensive speeds is so small that it's not overly noticeable during actual gameplay.
For those who prioritize defensive speed, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the top pick, while Nikola Jokić and Deandre Ayton dominate the offensive side.
