However, Bynum and Gasol are the biggest advantage the Lakers have over other teams, even a bigger advantage than Bryant. I can’t blame Bryant for not passing to the other guys on the team like Metta World Peace, Matt Barnes and Derek Fisher as much. Basically, Bryant shoots half the shots and the Gasol/Bynum beast makes up the other half. Together, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum are averaging about 24 or 25 shots per game. That’s the highest in the league, which just shouldn’t be the case. Right now, Bryant is averaging a ridiculous 24 shots per game. They need him to distribute the ball more and take fewer shots. However, this team needs more than that from its superstar. So far this season, Kobe Bryant is averaging 4.8 assists per game, which is pretty good for a shooting guard that is his team’s primary scorer. Granted, Bryant doesn't have much help on the outside other than himself, but if he would feed the post more often, even he would get more open looks.
