Message: [QUOTE="malpearl31, post: 2969296, member: 6520"] I agree with you that the game has changed and there are way more 3s taken from way further behind the line than we saw a generation ago. I'm very much looking forward to having a guy on our team next year (JG3) who bombs away and stretches the opponents' D. Pairing him with Buddy might be awesome. But having said that, I believe your contention that the zone was great up until 2010, but is not so great at defending today's game to be inaccurate. Here are SU's AdjD rankings from 2010-11 through 2018-19: 2010-11: 17th 2011-12: 16th 2012-13: 6th 2013-14: 13th 2014-15: 20th 2015-16: 18th 2016-17: 119th 2017-18: 5th 2018-19: 30th The Zone has been and continues to be very effective - year after year. There has been no real measurable downturn since 2010. [/QUOTE]
