People act like quickness is for offense and physicality is for defense, but in reality something closer to the opposite is true.
On offense, the ball does a lot of your running for you. A shooter can be standing in the corner with hands on knees, and if his defender cares about winning at all, he's constantly ready to flash into a driving lane or all the way to the paint even and then recover back, or to some other defender, if a rotation is warranted. A defender's main job is quite literally to attempt, as best they can, to compete with the speed of the ball.
DEFENSE = RUNNING
