West is, by NBA standards, an undersized 2 guard at 6 3. A three inch height advantage is big...especially when it comes to guarding arguably the best player in the world.
length, like who? How about Tayshaun Prince? How about Rashard Lewis? Shaun marion? Those guys have at times done very well against Kobe. Even bigger physical guys have done well like artest or even pierce, who is very underrated defensively. Now when i say very well, I mean it relatively. Kobe will get his when he gets his no matter who is guarding him.
Smaller players he tends to eat alive because he can shoot over them so easily.
