David West
2x All-Star, 2x NBA Champion
14034 Career points, 85.9 WS
David West spent the first eight seasons of his career with the New Orleans Hornets, leading them in scoring on four separate occasions. Averaging nearly 20 points and 9 rebounds during his prime alongside Chris Paul.
West has been a key player for multiple contending teams, aside from New Orleans he was a crucial piece to the Indiana Pacers team that made consecutive conference finals, his one season on the Spurs helped them to their best record ever, before ultimately losing to the Thunder in the playoffs.
At 36 he decided to join the Golden State Warriors to bolster their frontcourt, this decision led to back-to-back titles for the veteran. The Warriors are going in a different direction and don’t plan to bring West back. He could still contribute to a playoff squad, but at his age, after winning multiple championships, don’t be surprised to see the aging big man hang it up.
