For starters, I'm not sure "somebody needs to be in the post." But, we can just accept your assertion there and move on for now, I suppose.
Have you watched the Mavs this season? Getting KP the ball in the paint or in the high post IS their offense (unfortunately). What I'm saying is that someone, like Kleber, who is able to keep their defender out of the paint, away from those areas, might give that plan a snowball's chance in hell of being successful.
I for the life of me, don't understand this off-handedness of the post up--analytics be damned of course. It's not unfortunate; it's highly effective and uses both of your main assets to their fullest when utilized properly. I'm not a fan of the smartest person in the room/five out style of offense when that's proven to not work when it actually matters. Sorry if that sounds irritating, but the nerds have the run of the office and it's made for some truly bad basketball.
