Both sign up for a draft in the beginning of their career. Who are you picking?

Good question. Really think highly of both players. In another era I may go with Zo. Always seemed like a heck of a leader. For today's game I lean towards pau. His versatility on offense being the deciding factor.

Definitely Pau. Zo is just too limited on offense.

Pau is more portable, but I think Zo would raise the floor of an average cast more.

The inability to see the floor and pass well brings down Zo's value in today's league significantly more than it did in his own or earlier eras. His shotblocking and lateral quickness would still give him the edge defensively but I think Pau's offensive edge today is more significant.
