It's basically the opposite of what one would think. To play an elite zone, you actually need great athletes who are long armed, mobile, and understand difficult concepts of where to be, where to cheat, where to help..etc. much harder to play an effective zone than Man D... the attributes required on the D end, further complicate matters on the offensive end, as the types of players best suited for zone D, often aren't suited for being able to put the ball on the deck, dribble, drive, and kick...and that is where your scoring comes from, gaining and advantage and then either passing to an open guy whose man dropped to help...or going to the rim and scoring and / or getting fouled. of course once in a while you recruit some alien like carmelo A and it works out.
