Beginner Zones

Zones are modifiers that can sharpen your role: defense anchors for bigs, spacing tools for wings, and consistency boosts for guards.

Some recommendations may be placeholders while we standardize sources and synergy mapping.

Simple rule for beginners

Start with zones that improve a core stat you use every game (speed, defense presence, shot consistency) instead of zones that only matter in rare situations.

Next: build your first combo

Combine one style + one zone and learn the feel before swapping again. Constant switching slows down learning.
