David West

By Dennis Velasco, About.com

West received limited minutes in his first two seasons in the NBA, but in his third, West showed what he could really do in the Association when given time on the court. Since then, he's been an impact player down in the post, able to score and rebound equally well, something he did during his days at Xavier University.
