#2 David West
David West has had a pretty successful NBA career thus far. Giving up on millions of dollars to sign with the Spurs in 2015 and chase a ring that had eluded him till then, the #18 pick from the 2003 NBA draft has achieved those goals with back-to-back championships in the Bay Area, playing as a reliable frontcourt backup to the likes of Draymond Green.
West is one of the best playmakers out of the post even at his ripe, old age of 38, and has achieved everything he could want from his NBA career thus far. He still projects as a starting quality center if his body can keep up with the grind of playing heavy minutes, but even as a reserve, he fits the archetype of free agents the Lakers have signed thus far - guys capable of making plays on their own.
