I really don't understand what is with these reporters and statements like this (from Caplan article):
Former coach Rick Carlisle hardly ever played Porzingis in the post, and in Carlisle’s five-out offensive system, Porzingis accepted a more one-dimensional role in catch-and-shoot 3-point situations and as a pick-and-roll option with Luka Doncic.
Mavs were posting KP approximately the same under Carlisle and they infamously stopped only in playoffs - because he was terrible at it. KP had 3,7 post ups per game last season which was 20 % of his shots. This season this has increased to 4,2 attempts a game or 22 % of his shots. So number of attempts is basically same. EFG was bad both seasons and plummeted in playoffs.
Both seasons he is not used in PnR. Only 18 % of his shots last season dumped to 13,6 % this season.
I guess some average readers can be fooled by articles like this. Much more difficult to fool expert analysts in 29 other franchises, imho.
