JJJ, Deonte, Duane and Carlino are so much better suited for zone than man. Each has very active hands and fairly quick feet (in Duane and JJJ's case, very quick feet), and each can create turnovers with deflections in a team-defense situation.

Put them in man and they are below-average defenders.

Zone is a no-brainer with this year's team. Doesn't mean Wojo can't or shouldn't mix it up with a little m-t-m or box-and-1 or whatever just to give the offense something different to look at, but this year's roster screams "ZONE!"

I agree with this assessment.
