NBA Draft: Redrafting the Draft Class of 2003

#5 With the 5th pick in the draft, the Miami Heat select David West

San Antonio Spurs v New Orleans Hornets, Game 1

David West is a true, old-fashioned banger who's made a career out of tough-nosed defense and making plays from the low-post. He started out as a bench player but started getting more playing time in his third season, benefiting immensely from Chris Paul's transcendent court vision.

He made it to two All-Star teams 2008 and 2009 in the tougher Western Conference and was a crucial member of the team Hornets team that bagged the #2 seed in the 2007-08 season.

After the end of his second pro contract, he signed with the Indiana Pacers, powering them to two consecutive Conference Finals and played in several classic games against the Big 3 Miami Heat.

Having reached an age of 35, he opted out of the final year of his three-year, $36.6 million contract with the Pacers to join the San Antonio Spurs.

The following season, he signed for the veteran's minimum with the Golden State Warriors, and has been a crucial role player for them in their title runs for the past two seasons.

He still has a place in the league with his automatic mid-range jumper, defensive awareness and passing out of the post even at the age of 38.
