Xavier’s all-time hammer—elite scorer, rebounder, and rim protector
In his Xavier career, David West was a certified problem: a 2002-03 National Player of the Year, a 2,132-point scorer, and the school’s all-time leader in blocks, free throws made, free throws attempted, and double-doubles. His defining traits were strength, touch, rebounding, and the ability to punish mismatches at the four/five while anchoring the paint defensively. If you want a tough, low-maintenance frontcourt tone-setter with proven production and winner energy, West was exactly that.
