zone/half-court press Topic

If a team was to employ a zone and half-court press, does it need to be good at both zone and press IQ or basically focus on zone IQ with high speed/athleticism? It seems that the zone is still the primary D so it would be more important than press IQ and it would take a lot of practice time to make both of them work.

I never ran a combo defense until players starting maxing out on skills entering their JR years. Then I switched to zone/press and reallocated minutes into zone and press. Now my players don't totally max out on their skills until the end of their JR year and I have B or better in my offense, zone and press.
