The Syracuse zone defense (shoutout atomsareenough) is unique in a number of ways. One of those is the concept called the “bump.” You often see the two baseline wing players a little higher than you’d expect in a 2-3. The reason for that is, when the ball is passed to the wing, their responsibility is to briefly guard the wing offensive player, while a player from the top of the zone recovers. Then, when the defender from the top rotates over, the wing defender bumps down to the lowest player on his side.*
Unfortunately, if there is an offensive player in the corner, he is going to be wide open for a moment.
