well i am not ready to say he is btter than dirk now but since he has been in the league only 2 years it may seem as though he is farther along than dirk was at his age. gasol plays more of a poward forward game and if he ever buks up a litttle he will reek havoc on other teams. he and dirk are 2 different types of players in that gasol will be a better low post scorer while dirk will be far better than he will be on the perimeter. now i am not dissing dirk but he will never fall into the classical definiton of a poward forward while he, dirk, will more than likely redefine the small forward position.
