Meaning something similar
?
Also an athletic freak, Dawkins was actually about 2 inches taller than Dwight and entered the NBA when he was 19 years old, coming in at 250 lbs (Dwight was 240) and reaching about 270 later on. He didn't have all that great skill but had some moves with a solid enough post-game, not a bad shooter from close to mid range also and could actually hit his FT's at about a 70% clip.
Darryl was actually a pretty good shot-blocker and intimidator, not as good of a defensive player as Dwight but not all that far. The gap in rebounding is bigger though, pretty considerable one. Dawkins also that goofy, funny dude (never had that really hard working mentality) but could be a bad motha****a too, more than Dwight.
That's from watching them play and of course you can also check out the stats but Dawkins went up against Kareem, Moses, Sikma, Parish, Walton, Lanier, Unseld, Cowens, Hakeem, Ewing, Gilmore, so on... some in their prime, some not really but easily better competition than Dwight, take it for what it is.
In his prime years, Dawkins was putting up like 14/7 with 1.5 bpg, on 57% fg(always amongst the best) and 70% ft, playing only around 27 mpg. He never was all-nba or all-defensive, never an all-star.

Imo, Dwight would definitely be better but not all that far ahead and obviously not as "reckoned" as nowadays, not even close.
