We’re back in the lab dissecting a new area of Dwane Casey’s Detroit Pistons offense. This time, we are covering a hot topic among fans — offense against zone defense.

As a player, it is so hard to fight the urge of simply “shooting them out of it.” As a coach, there is little you can do to force a change in your players’ mentality. There is an art to finding the gaps and creases in the zone to attack off the dribble or with off ball movement and you have to find just the right time to make your move.
