How did Alonzo Mourning average 21 and 10 with 3.5 blks as a rookie?

[mastermind]

That still doesn't mean elite Mr. Sports Wikipedia

why wouldnt he be elite in today's NBA?

7 footer, legit post game, can get boards and defend.

In today's NBA who is better than him?

4 years of college to work on his game, learn to play big and to figure out what works and what doesn't. There's honestly very little player development that takes place in the NBA, especially as far as big men are concerned. On the flipside in College from March till the next season is basically nothing but time to work on your game with coaches.

cuz bynum didnt perfect his offensive game and defense with 0 college under his belt

Now imagine a league with 10 Bynums all playing at the same time...

Zo and Shaq avg those numbers as rookies just goes to show how weak the big men were at the time overall

How many other young centers in the NBA get the greatest center ever to tutor them and work on their game for years?

His development is the exception, not the rule, both he and Dwight came out of HS and got All-time great centers to work with them and help them develop. Even KG had Kevin McHale working with him on a consistent basis.

For the most part development is left up to the player, it's why so few dudes attend big man camps, even though they clearly need to.

The game has simply changed. Mourning would still be "great" in this era. Shaq would be DeSagna Diop. Shaq has no moves besides bullying people and this era is all about the guards. Nobody would run plays for Shaq and Shaq would pout and wouldn't grab any rebounds or play defense. Mourning on the other hand was a defensive force and he could shoot from mid range.
