The zone was used to protect Kostas. He looked lost on defense in the Ball State game. He didn't show on ball screen's and was also late to fall back on the roll. With the zone he can set up shop in the paint and and alter/block shots. With his wingspan he can affect shooters in the corner which is the weakness of the 1/3/1. His defensive assignment is much easier in the zone. We will see a lot of this zone when Kostas is in the game.
