They’re both able to play 4 and small ball 5. Both can switch onto smaller or bigger players and not get killed. Both can shoot the 3 at a level the defense has to respect. Maxi is probably a better weak side rim protector. PJ is a far superior all around offensive player who can put the ball on the floor, pass and finish.
