Actually i would say 1-3-1 has the best defense against RNG. The drawback is that rebounding could be an issue if your center isn't a rebound monster. 3-2 is safer in that regard.

Even 1-3-1 can turn a monster rebounding C into a mouse. That's why I much prefer 3-2.

I don't think I would ever feel safe with a 1-3-1 zone. If they decide to play LI to mess you up and you do a 1-3-1 then you pretty much lose.

You wouldn't be wrong to go 1-3-1 against my team actually. My rebounding is somewhat low and I have no inside scoring what so ever. For some reason that never happens. Which I think is a huge blunder from all the teams in my league.

So while 1-3-1 is very rarely ideal, it clearly has its uses.

Not exactly. 1-3-1 offense puts a huge pressure on his PG. Against 1-3-1, his SG could have more assists than PG because of less pressure, but if his SG doesn't have good PA, than 1-3-1 succeeded.
And since his inside players receive less assists because of so much pressure on their PG, they don't make a lot of baskets unless they have good HA and DR to make their own shot.

That's the reason many times I play 3-2 against LI (1-3-1 is a bit dicey).
