Well I got a key TV Match tonight in what might be a finals preview. So I'm trying to get my lineup together and am looking at my opponent as well. He has decent guards, a below average sf, and then 2 monster big men. His roster screams li to me, but he also runs neutral offenses. I would like to use the best D possible to give me the win.

So here I am here debating about the 2-3 zone. What I want to know is, how much has it improved over the seasons? I would like to know how effective it would be vs perhaps a li and I am also wondering if I miss on their tactic how bad will it end up to be? I also would appreciate on the second part that it isn't a one sentence statement saying "it will be very bad"

I'm reluctant in the history of 2-3 which is why I'm not sure to go with it yet, I have the defenders and rebounders to do it, I'm just scared the old 2-3 zone will come back this game and have my opponents raining threes.

Thanks!

If you're sure he isn't going to run an outside offense, I would use it. Sounds like his strength is inside and that's where you need to attack him. If he ends up running a neutral offense it probably won't have much of an effect either way, but you should gain some points if he has an inside focus vs a 2-3.

his neutral offenses will probably favour his big men anyways, so 2-3 zone would be interesting. especially if if his SF is a dud.

if his SF is a dud, have you thought about playing a third big man in YOUR SF position? that will strengthen your zone AND potentially give a mismatch on your offensive end.
