guardable
Able to defend
Guardable describes something or someone that can be defended or watched over effectively.
In sports, especially basketball, a guardable player is one a defender can reasonably contain: He's quick but guardable if you stay low.
The term also applies to places or objects that can be protected: The narrow pass was easily guardable with few soldiers.
