David West, a two-time NBA All-Star and the most decorated Xavier basketball player in school history, is Xavier's third all-time leading scorer with 2,132 career points and third all-time leading rebounder with 1,308 career boards. West, the first player to have his jersey number retired while still an active Musketeer player, was the 2002-03 Associated Press, United States Basketball Writers Association and Basketball Times National Player of the Year.
Xavier's first-ever National Player of the Year and consensus First Team All-American, West won a conference-record three straight Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year awards. West holds the school career records for blocked shots (228), free throws made (662), free throws attempted (874) and "double-doubles" (68). West's senior year stats were especially impressive as he led Xavier in scoring (20.1 ppg.), rebounding (11.8 rpg.), blocks (1.6 bpg.) and steals (1.3 spg.). He was second on the team in assists with 102. West scored a Cintas Center record 47 points to go with 18 rebounds in a win over Dayton his senior year.
