Gasol has the same situation, but not as extreme since he's not strong enough to directly attack certain centers/power forwards. Likes to settle for too many jumpers. He has been sliding to the basket well when Kobe drives though.
They both have shrank considerably in the play offs, which is why I consider their play even at this point.

I'll grant you that both KG and Gasol are not playing to their potentials right now. However, you will NEVER see Gasol dunk on anyone the way KG dunked on Sheed in the last series. Gasol just doesn't have it in him. KG has it and he gets his team and the crowd hyped up. The Lakers are going to miss Bynum in this series more than any other.
