I do believe 2-3 zone is never worth the risk. The only clear advantage is in rebounding, where the boost could be a consistent factor in the game, also (without having any sense) on the offensive boards. But for all the other aspects I'm more than skeptical.

It could potentially be a solution against really poor teams, with several players without even a basic shooting or a flow ability...otherwise I don't see any possible advantage compared to a m2m. But even in those cases I'd never chose a 2-3.

3-2 zone is a different story, I like that zone a lot also against inside offenses but it won't be that effective if not properly built.

I certainly agree, I’ve had better outcomes using the 3-2 for sure.
Thank you for your valued input - much appreciated.

Wait, what new game engine are we talking about? Was it the one which happened like 30 seasons back which boosted OD to stop everyone from running outside offenses or something? I don't really remember 2-3 being any good for a very very long time tho.

Iirc playing 2-3 against LI used to result in your opponent's guards driving into the paint. I'm not to sure how it works anymore nowadays tho (not sure if there were any changes).

That said, I'd usually go with 3-2 against LI. In fact it seems to be a good choice to run it against most offenses unless you got a balanced team (which I currently don't have, sadly), then you can use M2M.

Yes I agree....I don't have much use for the 2-3. The 3-2 seems to work ok, just need to balance the other areas of my game and team. Thanks for your input...much appreciated!
