If he was stronger perhaps he wouldnt care with opponents, and get to the basket more easy and with more focus.
It could just be that he does not have the basic fundamentals here to make layups and dunks? Was this always an issue in his career? I never watched him when he played for Kings, and in games against Mavs did not payed attention to him. He is playing much more this season and this issue is noticable now.
If he had this fixed he would be so much better. I anyway appreciate the impact he has done, he has done many things well. But every time he gets the ball around the basket, I dont have a feeling he is in any sort of control, even an open layup feels like 50/50 if he makes it or not.
mtrot is probably right that some time in the weight room would be beneficial
But I am not convinced that this is solely a strength issue (realize that no one said it was). As you point out, there is a helter-skelter aspect to his offensive game. That can be good in keeping defenses unbalanced, but it doesn't help to get to the basket if you can't finish with a bucket or draw a foul and hit free throws.
