First, you seem to consistently underestimate the skill of posting up a player.  It is not as easy as just throw it to the 7 footer with his arms up 5 feet from the basket.  If it was the team with the tallest guy would be the odds on favorite every game.
 
Don't you think JB is either conciously or subconciously running the percentages of what the post has to offer?  And those percentages you threw out are flawed.  Certainly no one is thinking 15% from wide open threes.  And Fabs 56% is including several transition buckets and doesn't factor in his turnovers or bizarre passes.
 
What makes you think Fab is so much more advanced than Craig Forth?  Forth played the game a lot longer than Fab has.  Fab is a nice supporting player for SU who gives an excellent defensive presence.  Craig Forth knew his role.  CF would not have launched that UConn mistake.
 
When JB has had a post presence, he has used it.  From DC to Wallace to Hakeem to AO to RJ.  JB loves to use an advantage in the post.  The lack of a post is what makes this team so different from JBs past ones. 
 
You and Otto seem to be suggesting he has this big advantage and isn't using it.  Why is that again?  Isn't it a lot more logical to think Fab has not demonstrated that part of his game?
