Pass! The NBA is moving away from "true centers"
I think that's due more to a lack of big men that have traditional post scoring skills than a lack of tall guys available. The only real low post scoring big men I can think of in the league are Duncan and Big Al. Everyone is either a jumpshooting/high post scoring player or just an opportunistic scorer on offense (this is where I'd lump DH and Hibbert)
Maybe big men who would have been traditional post scorers in the past are becoming jumpshooting/high post scoring players now because that skill set is more valuable.
In this case, I'd say, the value of the skill set depends upon the percentage of makes, plus the percentage of second chance opportunities.
Post scorers that make 50% of their shots from the low post will score the same as if they make 33.3% of their shots from 3 pt land. But if missed low post shots are rebounded at a higher rate than missed 3 pt shots by the player/team, then they might need 36%, or more, to break even.
Jabbar, Chamberline, McHale...all mostly low post players...averaged a little over 50% on their shots...mostly low post shots, but they are best of all time, hall of fame talents. Most C/PF's don't break 50% on inside shooting and if they can hit 3 pt shots in the low to mid 30%'s they might be better off shooting from outside.
Then there is Shaq! He averaged over 60% on all inside shooting over this entire career. His effectiveness with the low post shot matches or exceeds just about any 3 pt specialist in the history of the NBA, plus he had the rebounding and defense.
