9. David West - Xavier 6'8", 226. PF, SF - SR.
From Teaneck, NJ. ...More of a four than three, West can rebound with ferocity, and still have enough finesse to hit at 81% from the line. He led the Atlantic 10 in rebounding every year of college. Right handed, he has the strength to take a hit and finish. …He shot 34% from beyond the college arc as a Senior. …He can score around the hoop very well, has great hands. ...Very good at creating his own space from defender to get his shot off. ...Just sucks up rebounds! ...Shows leadership qualities. …West did have some games early this season where he looked passive offensively. He also can seem unenthused but really he JUST PLAYS. He is the second person in his family to earn a college degree. ...Wingspan is 7'4 1/2". ...First Xavier Player since Derek Strong to post a 20 point 20 rebound game. ...Inconsistent from deep perimeter, but tremendous from 8 to 12 feet.
