If you where zoning the tallest person would go in the centre of the key, under the basket and they can easily stop the cutter on the opposition from shooting and moving which means you can become in possession of the ball quickly. Therefore they would be trapped. If the team was not zoning try and keep on the tallest person on the other team.
