When I'm setting my lineup, does the "I want my X to play defense as X" option matter if I'm running a zone? I would think the obvious answer is no, but then why would that option be available if I'm running a zone?

Well maybe you want your PF to defend the perimeter instead of your SF so you switch their position in the 3-2 zone.

Even in zones positions for defense still matter and have an influence.
