The top 5 big men in post efficiency (points-per-possession, PPP) are Jonas Valcunious, Kevin Love, Donatas Montejunas, Lamarcus Aldridge, and Marc Gasol.
http://stats.nba.com/playtype/#!/post-up/?dir=1&sort=PPP&CF=Poss*GE*200&Season=2014-15&SeasonType=Regular%20Season
They all achieve the standard for elite efficiency of 1.00 PPP or thereabouts, despite having weak post games.. The top bigs from 1996 are better (listed below) - these guys would achieve much higher PPP than the elite percentages already achieved by today's inferior bigs:
Hakeem
Shaq
Robinson
Ewing
Alonzo
Sabonis (25 PER)
Karl Malone
Barkley
Webber
Kemp
And probably Rik Smits, Vin Baker, Dino Radja, and certainly Derrick Coleman.
The league changed the rules in 2005 to increase the efficiencies on ball movement and dribble penetration, which have surpassed post-ups.. But the percentages on post-ups themselves haven't diminished at all, as proven by the elite post efficiency of today's bigs.
The elite efficiency of today's inferior bigs should serve as the floor for how much better the superior bigs of previous eras would do in today's game.
