Here is the problem with Mookie. Yes he can help tremendously on the offensive end, but so far in Big East play, when he is at the top of that zone the opposition's PG always goes right at him and seems to get by 90+% of the time right into the lane where you're relying on Fab or Rick to play 1 on 2 or a forward has to help leaving the wing wide open. He just can't stop penetration when he's out there.
Letting them pass the ball inside is one thing. That still leaves 1 on 1 situations. But once easy penetration begins, the zone is gonna get burned way too often.
