David West

Bio

Sometimes, critics zoom in on what you can't do rather than what you can. But at Xavier, David West did everything, and still, it wasn't enough. When he entered the league, it took him seasons to establish himself. But with every seventeen foot jumper and double-digit rebound game, suddenly skeptics became fans, and criticism turned into appreciation. Now, he's set himself up as someone that other players are measured by. Someone whose game should be aspired to reach. Someone who needs to be accounted for. Not bad for someone who still considers himself to be incomplete.
