Against a zone, below the rim play is difficult, so you gotta have shooters, and you said someone can shoot the 3, that's the best.. Nothing better to wreck a zone than 3 point shooting. They'll be forced to come out of their zone to guard the guys on the perimeter

If one guy drives into the zone somebody from another zone will come to help. That messes up the zone quite nicely now, so then all you gotta do is pass the ball around till one guy is free.

And screens, nothing works better on a zone defense than screens..
Personally I dislike the zone defense,it's just lazy, I like the man-to-man defense, there you take care of all the problems..
