I disagree about the negative impact on Rebounding. Sure you might miss a rebound or two to some athletic slashing guy (especially if he´s following up his own miss) in a 2-3, but actually given that in a 2-3 zone you have three guys close to the basket who can work on the glass you should be able to control the boards rather good. At least the SF and the C should receive a certain boost over their m2m Rebounding. The PF maybe a little lower than in m2m, but that really depends on the offense scheme.
While in m2m you can drag a C out to the 3pt line, he will be where the rebound happens in 2-3 every single possession.
The SF should definately get the best rebounding ratings while playing 2-3. Next m2m, then the boxes, last probably 3-2. But it should (and probably does) depend on the offense schemes aswell. When the SF plays against a Motion team in m2m, he will most likely spend all of his time far from the basket, while playing 2-3 against a LI offense might place him within arm length of the boards.
In addition, I think the 1-3-1 isn´t working right when it comes to rebounding. The C should not receive a hit in rebounding playing that defense, as he is "really "parking" under the basket, while the PF is chasing guys up and down the baseline... but that´s just a side note.
