I thought this was an interesting if a bit overproduced watch:
TL;DR is that because the three point revolution became such a focus of the offense and defense, two point shots are now more efficient than any other kind of shot (when that didn't use to be the case), including threes. Defenders are shorter and weaker (because being faster and more agile is better for defending the three) and there's less inside help defense because of the threat of threes, so a post up can eat. Only real caveat here is that there aren't a ton of high quality post players compared to shooters and iso players. So there might be a bit of a regression to the past in years to come as more teams start to incorporate this correction.
