Ginobili has done well in most of his career playoff seasons. He did exceptionally well in 2005 where his PER went from 22 to 25 with increased minutes and Usage Rate. Last playoffs his PER dropped a bit. But in general he has done well.
Nick Van Exel actually did worse in more playoff seasons then better -- but had some good ones peppered in.
Jalen Rose was average in his playoff perofmances. Production probably took a normal drop on par with the average player.
I am sure there are plenty of other leftys but I can't think of any who drastically increased or dropped their production on a consistent basis. At least in terms of a player on the calibur of Drob or even a championship role player.
