Said everyone who doesn't have a good big.
I'll concede the "post up" decline, but there are lot of ways a good mobile big can contribute by scoring---tip ins, running the floor until his defender is gassed, short J, et al.
If he is good enough to move his feet on defense, he can do damage in the lane on offensive.
He should be agile enough to cause an imbalanced floor on occasion.
Problem is only the basketball elite have one of those.
