I thought with Noel, SU could have its best zone ever!  
 
You would have MCW and BT up top.  The best two at the top ever.  Sure Andy and BT/Scoop were good but I think these two can be better.  MCW has the physical length that is just built for the zone, plus MCW has been to all the camps and has coaches as parents.  He will know what to do.  BT has been a high effort, intelligent guy and that will continue. 
NN could give us that Fab like presence.  An intimidator, shot blocker.  CJ and JS would provide experienced forwards.  And DC2, while having a little trouble on the wing could be the designated rebounder, in a Rick Jackson mode.
 
If you went man to man, small quick guards (which there are plenty of around) could probably take either MCW or BT.  You take their length advantage and make it a liability due to the lack of quickness.  Plus, foul wise the guards are a little thinner than the bigs.  With man to man more foul pressure can be put on the guards, while in the zone the foul pressure is more focused on the bigs in the middle where SU would be deep.
 
Would you really want to play a mediocre man to man instead of the best SU zone D ever?
