How important do you think game shape is to a players performance? I have two players, one with 7 GS and 12 OD, the other with 9 GS and 10 OD. Who will defend better? Will the two more levels of GS make up for the two less levels of OD?

They have comparable offenses at equal game shapes, so I'm inclined to go with the 9 GS guy, but not if he's going to cost me defensively, as my opponent has some outstanding guards.

In my opinion the 9 GS player will play better overall.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

If it was my team I'd play the 9 GS 10 OD.

As it stands now the difference in 10 OD and 12 OD isn't terribly large, but the GS acts as a performance multiplier. So a 9 GS with 10 OD can play like a 12, or 13 OD player at 7 GS.

That's why NT's use GS as their #1 decider on who starts, and who does not. Take the example below.

Player A: 17 JS 11 JR 19 OD 14 Han/Drv/Pas---7 GS
Player B: 19 JS 11 JR 17 OD 14 Han/Drv/Pas---9GS

On a game with both at 7 GS you could probably not decipher the better player, but in this example Player B's 9 GS makes it so he's more like a 20+ JS 12 JR 19 OD 16 Han/Drv/Pas, and Player A's 7 GS doesn't increase his in game skills like a 9 GS would.
The in game numbers I listed are not accurate, just used for example purpose, but the point made is true
