I was watching some Elton Brand games and highlights and was wondering who is the closest player to him today

In 2005-06 he averaged 24.7 10 2.6 on 52% field goal

Asking as someone who's never watched him play, was brand good? Like was he considered a star that could lead a team to the playoffs in his prime?

No, he wasn’t even a perennial all star. A good tier 2, sometimes 3 guy. A little bit of a poor man’s LaMarcus Aldridge but maybe a little better than that

Briefy. 2006 was his big year. He led the Clippers to the playoffs (a very rare occurrence at the time) and got MVP votes. All-NBA Second Team, suggesting he was viewed as a top ten player.

Yes he was legitimate star and one of the best low post scorers and rebounders in the league. At his best he was a top-10 player and looked unstoppable at times. He's too overlooked for how good he was.
