Maxi when on is an above average defender and shot blocker. Cardinal i remember since college days and in terms of defense the best i could say about him is scrappy and annoying and the type to try to get under your skin or draw a charge but not by any means a good defender and definitely not a shot blocker.

Back in the day there were players labeled as "Garbage Men".
Those were the blue collar guys who did the dirty work and rarely scored but seemed to have a critical role.
Kurt Rambis was the ultimate "Garbage Man".
AC Green and Popeye Jones were those types of players as well.
Cardinal to me was one of the last of those type of players.
I'm not sure Maxi fits that label because those are becoming, or have become extinct.
