Off-ball, in their path
Off-Ball Pest is a returning Defense badge. The official job makes it harder to get past you when you play off-ball.
If the ball is in their hands and they are driving at you, look at Seatbelt, Immovable Enforcer, or Ankle Braces. If they are running through a screen, look at Pick Dodger.
| Job | Off-Ball Pest? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Harder to get past you off-ball | Yes | Official job |
| Body-up that cuts the drive | No | Seatbelt |
| Get through a screen | No | Pick Dodger |
| Timed closeout on a shooter | No | Challenger |
| Getting open through screens on offense | No | Slippery Off-Ball |
Slippery is the cutter
Slippery Off-Ball helps the offensive player get open through traffic. Pest is the defender in that traffic.
Does Pest help my on-ball stance?
The official sentence is off-ball. On-ball nights want the on-ball names.
