Are individual def. assignments only factored in when playing man to man? From a real life perspective, when you play zone, you're defending areas, not players. So, for instance, a driving guard would get contested by a big man inside if you're playing a 3-2 zone. Let's say, for instance, your SG is set to guard your opponent's SG, but you're playing a 3-2 zone. Your opponent's SG drives in for a layup. Does the ID of your PF/C get factored in or does your SG trail the play and it's his ID that gets factored in?
