Can these players play man effectively?   Who knows 
Can these players play zone effectively?   Not in a million years

The biggest questions I have about the zone are the following:

-Can the zone still be a defense you can use 100% of the time in 100% of the games?   I doubt it with rosters turnover it makes it impossible to build a defense where everyone has to work together.

-Can the zone still be effective in the modern day basketball game?    It doesn't look like it.  Teams are hunting threes now.  What was a bad shot is now a good shot.   The zone use to force team to take 3s because they were bad shots in the modern basketball landscape those are now good shots.

-Can JB still effectively coach the zone?   What kind of time and energy is he putting into actually teaching the zone.  Everyone says he is really hands off in practice and lets his assistants run things then the question is our the assistants terrible coaches that they can teach the zone and can't team a fluid offense?
