Why do you like the isolation offenses and dislike the box and one defenses?

I'm disappointed with the zone defenses in general because post players are found out of position defending on the perimeter far too often. The outside box-in-one does not always match your best outside defender against the opponents outside threat, even when they play the same position. That isn't to say it is an ineffective defense, nor that I am disappointed to have the option; but the simulation does not yet do a great job of rendering positional defense the way it should be played. It has more the feel of kids that know basically where to stand in a zone during practice, but all bets are off once the ball gets into the half-court.
