Understand your sentiment, but I would emphasize the necessity of scoring and pressuring the rim through gap creation exploitation by all the ISO, mismatch scorers you have recruited; not the "post players" who are incapable of efficiently operating out of the "post."

I get the value of having a big man help by screening, our guys moving the ball, and gap exploitation.  I was a huge fan of Christian Bishop for doing so much to help our offensive players get openings.  But Shedrick has never been good at receiving a pass while moving, and Onyema . . . well, he gets a little too enthusiastic when setting screens, like he did last night in putting whoever that was to the floor.  I'm not saying you're wrong about whether they are being used right, just that they may not be the guys we would ideally want in the roles you envision.

It's like, my gosh, we could have used a guy like . . . oh, never mind.
