Most teams run heavy PnR. Legend is great but HoF should be enough to get the job done

Screener and defender both 6 ft 9, 240 lbs, 90 strength, every Brick Wall level against every Pick Dodger level. With no badge on either side 2.5 percent of screens are hard and the defender never wins one. Brick Wall at Legend against no Pick Dodger makes 43 percent of screens hard; Pick Dodger at Legend against no Brick Wall wins 28 percent outright. Legend against Legend lands at 12.5 percent hard and 5 percent defender wins. The build tests hold both badges at Gold and move only the screener: 30 strength over the defender takes hard screens from 19.5 to 26.5 percent, and 30 under takes them down to 15.5.
Brick Wall Test Details

We took 200 Screens for each badge level of Brick Wall vs each badge level of Pick Dodger. Both players had equal height, weight, strength. The only difference was the badge levels. We also looked at Strength, Height, and Weight Advantage for both sides as a separate test.
