Not sure if this has already been suggested but, if not, here we go.

I was wondering if, when you choose the box defense (either inside ou outside), you could (if possible) have a sort of "3 player priority tree" for both the attacker and defender.

What would this mean? Assuming you would assign players A, B and C as 1st, 2nd and 3rd (for offense)
Whenever A is on court, he is the player being "shadowed".
If B is on court and A isn't, he will be the one "shadowed".
If C is on court and A and B aren't, he will be the one "shadowed".
If none are on court, the game does what it already is doing.

Additionally, if you could actually the player doing the "shadowing" (with the same "3 player priority tree") that would be gold.
Assuming you would assign players A, B and C as 1st, 2nd and 3rd (for defense)
Whenever A is on court, he is the player defending the selected attacker.
If B is on court and A isn't, he is the player defending the selected attacker.
If C is on court and A and B aren't, he is the player defending the selected attacker.
If none are on court, the game does what it already is doing.

Feel free to comment, discuss or suggest something different/better.

Please bear with my ignorance, but before I voice out my support... Is there somewhere I can see how box defenses work in BB? Like, no just the vague best defender on best attacker description in the game manual... More in depth stuff like how is actually works in practice, who guards who most often etc. I feel like we need to know it in detail before we can decide what's wrong with it or what it is missing.

Not that I know of, that's kind of the point.
It would be nice to be able to choose both the defender and the guy he is defending (with some latitude too).
Would you agree that the lack of detail is something that is missing, then?
