If he averages like 20 TO a game maybe but the safer option is 3-2. FCP that SG will burn you because your whole defence goes down inside and outside. Also he will most like out rebound you if you play FCP. Stamina also plays a part in it if your team has low stamina at the end of each quarter they will perform bad due to tiredness. I'll try my best to scout the team and then tell you the best option i would do.

Because 3-2 is a zone, it's impossible to put your 'best' defender on him. You do get a bonus to OD, definitely. But you may end up being unlucky with your worst defender in your 3-2 zone defending him on a 3 point shot for example. If you want him marked out of the game at all times, you'll need to play man to man.

The main advantage of 3-2 against an outside offence is when a PF steps back to take an outside jumper, a guard/SF with high OD will rotate to defend him, as opposed to M2M defence where your PF/matchup will guard him.

Put your best defender at SG.

Do not play FCP, he will burn you.

Defensively either play M2M if you dont have better rebounding than he does, if you do you can play 3-2.

I would just play M2M though.

Thanks for your help, I won by 30. The star SG had 7 points on 3-16 shooting while my two SGs combined for 1-11 shooting.
