They both appear to be guys who wont bring much to the table defensively.

We have to remember, part of that is not all Zo's fault. Issues w the zone, poor movement, lack of great point guard play (not always) all play into what we saw from Zo. Zo is that style of player, but all that outside style pushes it to levels that are likely what pisses some fans off.
