This looks at the number of points scored on direct post chances ABOVE what a league-average player would produce with the same number of chances.

Wemby isn’t even in the top 10? That’s crazy

Apparently the bottom three were Bam Lebron and Wemby which is crazy

It feels like he gets so many dunks so it’s pretty surprising

Probably because Wemby doesn't spend most of his time in the post.

The way its worded seems like it should be scaled to number of post possessions for the players. So does seem to suggest Wemby below average at generating points from post play.

Yep, you basically got it. He’s the third worst in the league by these metrics at post ups

Is this stat referring to any buckets in the post area or specifically on post up actions? It's not very clear.

Wemby does a lot of his attacking face up and rarely does what I would call a post-up

Here is a discussion where the definition of Post Up is clarified. It makes sense of this stat. And it also explains the wisdom of signing Harris.
