What is the best defense for motion offense? I know it is outside focused but not sure if 3-2 or Man to Man would work best?

It depends. If you're confident in your PG, SG and SF's ability to defend, you can use M2M.

If not, 3-2 might be the better option. Just make sure that your bigs can rebound, or you may struggle with giving up too many offensive boards.

I think it also depends on your players as well. If you have PG-SG-SF with relatively equal OD, a 3-2 zone works better than if you had big disparity in OD.

if its around 6-7 3s a game i will go for M2M and put my 1st best defender on his best shooter, 2nd best on his 2nd best shooter.


How can you do that?
I don't know, but my guess is man to man means your PG defends against the opponent's PG, your SG defends against your opponent's SG, and so forth. Is this true?

1-3-1 is the best defense against motion since there is a lot of mid range shots but your problem then will be with your PF that probably won't have good outside def to be able to defend in the 3 players defense line and if you put a guard in the PF position you will be in a huge disadvantage in the rebound aspect which already suffers a big hit in this zone.
Use 3-2 only if the other team scoring big amount of 3s every game, but if its around 6-7 3s a game i will go for M2M and put my 1st best defender on his best shooter, 2nd best on his 2nd best shooter.

Im not a fan of 3-2 against Motion honestly, it seems to work way worse than people expect it to work.


I agree 1 3 1 is the best defence only i think not importent PF have good outside defence i think you think SF
you said mistake or realy belive that you said..
SF need outside defence for this every unother you said is corect i belive that i see the game this because i said this
