I like to have dominant rebounders (well in the 90s) from my 4 and 5 playing the zone. It would be nice to have it at the three, but I typically would favor a guard that is a strong defender. The reason I prefer that, and I know I am probably wrong about how the engine works, is that I feel that the SF is the swing defender in the zone. In a 3-2 he helps defend the perimeter and in a 2-3 he helps out down low.
I know another thread is dismissing the importance of speed, but I would also prefer decent speed from SF, and passing and ball handling, but that is mostly because I am paranoid about playing against press teams.
if you are talking about the d2 pg thread, you absolutely should not be drawing the conclusion about speed that you are inferring from what people said there. 1 and 3 are a lot different anyway.
