I believe you are right! The ultimate defense against LI is 3-2, or M2M if you think your ID is high enough.
I am of the same opinion. By playing 3-2 you put some pressure on outside players, effectively cutting some of their passing power and isolate their bigs on some extent. It's true you lose a bit on rebounding, but this is a minor sacrifice comparing to 2-3's non existing outside defense.
Hope these ideas spread rapidly trough B3 teams.
I don't think the extra pressure on guards really pays off the monumental lack of ID you get with 3-2. Altough, if your ID is really lower than your opponents inside attack (this is the case where 2-3 is raped down the rim, without considering the extra assits and better outside scoring), you could say it's better to try 3-2. Since your big mens are gonna be outplayed no matter what, you can at least try to lose with better difference by stoping their guards (playing 3-2 against a decent team with superior inside attack is a lost game in my view).
