Peak Ewing Vs Peak Dwight vs Peak Alonzo Mourning

[Bwelc679]

Let's take the following seasons for argument sake:

89-90 Patrick Ewing regular season per 100 possessions stats:
36ppg 5bpg 14rbpg, 10 fta at 78%
PER: 26 ws/48: .205 BPM: 5.5
+12 relative True shooting

10-11 Dwight Howard regular season per 100 possessions stats:
32ppg 3.3bpg 20rbpg 16 fta at 60%
PER: 26 ws/48: .235 BPM: 5.3
+14 relative True shooting

99-00 Alonzo Mourning regular season per 100 possessions stats:
34ppg 5.7bpg 14.7rbpg 11fta at 71%
PER: 26 ws/48: .226 BPM: 5.3
+14 relative True shooting

I am too lazy to get all of their playoff stats but they all had a BPM around 5 and played well in the postseason.

Who do you think was best against their competitors that year and who do you think would be the most effective if dropped into the NBA next season and let's say they were added to a team like Portland with Dame still on the team?

Ewing on his own tier, Zo/Dwight tied a tier below. Pat wasn’t the smoothest on offense but he was still smoother than the other two, and the best shooter which matters.

Zo edges Dwight in shooting/free throws/defense, but Dwight is the better rebounder and is slightly more dominant under the basket offensively.

My order:

Ewing
Dwight
Mourning

Pat peaked clearly the highest to me, the last two are more interesting. Dwight's rebounding and finishing ability gave him slight edge over Mourning's shooting and shotblocking, but they are reasonably close to me.

Ewing's peak coming pre-databall and to a much, much lesser degree, Mourning's coming in a shortened season makes impact a tricky area for info and consistency. We can be most confident on Dwight's range (of of impact and with that input of goodness ... not shooting range), least confident on Ewing.

Iirc, the impact stuff is somewhat of a boon for a pro-Mourning position.
