Strengths

Alonzo was one of the toughest hardest working players in the NBA. A career that has to be examined in two parts due to major kidney issues costing him much of a super promising career. Zo was a 20ppg guy for the first 8 seasons of his career and was a great rebounder during that first 8 years. He ended career numbers of 17.1/8.5/2.8bpg for his career even with the second half of his career being very low minute and bench production. Zo was a feared shot blocker and could easily come from across the lane as a help defender to protect the rim. A great percentage shooter shooting over 50% in 13 of his 15 seasons, and actually had a mid range game unlike top pick Shaquille O'Neal brought to his team in their rookie seasons. Was very good at drawing fouls and getting to the FT line (7 a game for his career). Above average speed for a big man, and a great mind for the game helped make him a great talent that was cut short due to injuries.

Weaknesses

Zo was great at drawing contact and fouls, but was not the best FT shooter (69%). I wouldn't call Zo a black hole in the post, but he was not great at setting up teammates only averaging 1.1 APG over his career. Same thing goes for his stealing skills, only averaged half a steal a game over his career.

Notes

7 Time All Star, 2 Time Defensive Player of the Year, All Rookie 1st Team, 2 Time All Defensive 1st Team, All NBA 1st Team, All NBA 2nd Team, 12 seasons in the top 10 in BPG over his career. #12 on all time career blocks list.

Strengths

In his prime Zoe was one of the best centers in the league. He was well-known for his defensive prowess and could not only rebound but was one of the leagues greatest shot-blockers. He had an 8 year prime of 20.9ppg 10.1rpg 3.1bpg. Offensively, Zo was an above average low post scorer who used his size and strength to score. Zo should be one of the stronger players in the league upon entering and should be a DPOY candidate early on.

Weaknesses

The biggest problem for Mourning was his kidney problems. He had a fast start to his career, but was really a shell of his old self for the last 7 years of his career. If he had stayed healthy, he probably would have gone down as one of the best centers of all-time. One weakness he had was his below average FT shooting, under 70% for his career. The other was that early on in his career he was prone to TOs.

Notes

7x Time All-Star, 2x DPOY, 1x All Rookie 1st Team, 2x All-Defensive 1st Team, 1x All-NBA 1st Team, 1x All-NBA 2nd Team, 5x Top 10 FTM, 7x Top 10 FTA, 10x Top Ten Blocks,
