Player: David West
Position: Power forward/center
Height/weight: 6-9, 250
Age: 36
Salary: $980K
2015-16 in review: Hunting for a championship ring as he nears the end of an excellent career, West took a minimum deal with the Spurs and performed well as a big man, mostly off the bench. He averaged 7.1 points and 4.0 rebounds, but shot a career-high 54.5 percent from the floor.
Golden State Warriors
2016-17 outlook: Gone are the days of West dropping three or four double-doubles a month. The Warriors will ask nothing more than the Spurs, to be the first big man off the bench and operate within the offense with which he is familiar. West remains dangerous on the pick-and-pop, with a deadly jumper from 15-18 feet, and ought to fill some of the scoring void created by the departure of Marreese Speights.
Floor: He is victimized by injuries that plague older players and struggles to find rhythm
Ceiling: He utilizes savvy and a reliable jumper for 15 good minutes per night.
