Very simple. LGP confers additional rights upon the defender. Specifically, the player is allowed to move laterally or obliquely, raise hands and/or jump vertically, or turn around/duck.
A player who does not establish ILGP has the right to any spot on the floor provided that he gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent, but none of the additional rights named above. For example, if this player is moving laterally at the time of the contact, the proper call would be a blocking foul.
Does that help clarify it for you?
