Doug West

West became a regular starter for the Timberwolves during the 1991-92 NBA season, in which he averaged 14.0 points per game, appeared in the Gatorade Slam Dunk Championship, and earned Timberwolves\' Defensive Player of the Year Honors. The following season, he averaged a career high 19.3 points per game.\n', ' During the 1993 offseason, the Timberwolves made shooting guard Isaiah Rider their first round draft pick and made him the starter at the position. West was moved to small forward, where his numbers declined significantly. In 1995, he broke Tony Campbell\'s team-record 4,888 points to become the Timberwolves\' all-time leading scorer (a distinction now held by Kevin Garnett). The following offseason, the team drafted Garnett, and West was moved to the bench, starting just 16 games. He returned to the starting lineup for the 1996-97 season when Rider was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers, which would be his last season as a starter.\n', ' By the mid-1990s, injuries had begun to take their toll on West, and he was traded to the Vancouver Grizzlies in exchange for Anthony Peeler after the 1997-98 NBA season. West provided a veteran presence for the struggling young Grizzlies, but he saw very limited playing time, and he finally retired from the NBA in 2001. He had tallied career totals of 6,477 points, 1,670 rebounds, and 1,292 assists. \n', '
