That depends: You never saw him play vs todays players. You never saw Gervin play in a game in which he is the tallest player on the court.
I'm not sure what you're after here. Gervin wouldnt be the tallest player today. Dude was like 6'8. We have guys 7+ handling the ball. His height isnt salient.
Gervin might lead the league in blocks
Nope. That definitely would never happen. Guy who never averaged 2 bpg at a higher tempo would never lead the league in blocks today. Weird assertion, and totally baseless.
and certainly would in scoring.
That might happen. He was an excellent scorer, and having the 3 would help. He'd perennially challenge for the scoring title in his prime.
Having the chance to play an extra 5 to 10 minutes a game vs bench players and playing 75 games vs small ball teams with no weak side help you very well might change your opinion. Give him PEDs, AAU, trainers and 3pt practice since he was a child and he certainly would tower over a former self that grew up 50 years ago.
Weird paragraph. He'd probably play the same 33 mpg he played in his actual career. Perhaps the 35 mpg he played in his prime NBA years. No weird extra quarter against the bench. There is weakside help in the modern NBA, so that was bull.
