David West (GSW) – “Rhino”

Profile:

Power Forward: 6’9, 250 lbs; 15th year, Xavier

NBA Role: bruising power forward • Salty DOG

D. West is a tough power forward with a winning mentality; productive big who provides scoring, rebounding and leadership on contending teams – now, he’s Golden State’s resident enforcer; automatic midrange game (well, almost) and strong inside play made Rhino a Top DOG back in the day; left $11 million on the table to fight for a title with San Antonio…and left another sizable amount on the table to chase a title with the Dubs; very underrated passer, able to read action w/ his back to the rim or facing up on the elbow; occasional three-point range; plays the ‘Antonio McDyess role’ very well for Steve Kerr! – West is tough, doesn’t make mistakes, aids a winning effort

Signature Shot: deep elbow jumper
