I think its a little too early to say that. He just needs some more time to adjust to our defensive sets. His offense will come soon as well.
Dude has looked every part of it against 2nd stringers of mostly weak opposition...I don't know, but one should give him a couple of more months and see what's going on (mostly on offense)...He's been the Belinelli of Big men for us in the sense that it is an automatic run for the other team..

It's very possible..I thought he would be a nice 4th big that could make open jump shots, which I still believe he could be, but he's suffering more than anybody from the lack of offensive fluidity..
Too early to write him off completely, though..
Hes toxic next to Diaw. Boban provides instant rim protection rebounding screens and easy putbacks. Bench West.
Pop will give him the benefit of the doubt, at least until January... we're just going to have to live with it...
he jus needs time to adjust, he'll get there!
He has had some decent moments. I think he will be okay.... we just have absolutely no chemistry as a team right now. That should come in time.
He just looks a bit lost out there tbh
He is done, the longer we give him minutes, the more likely we are a 5-8 seed.
Should've been a warning sign when he gave up all that money TBH
Dude is washed!
We got him for dirt cheap so you're going to get a dirt cheap David West
....he's been put in terrible spots by Pop so far + he's just trying to fit in by overpassing....
He'll be fine tbh
The whole team looks out of rhythm ......and spurs need another shooter....
If the corpse of Dyess can do it
i believe at this stage that West isn't a "spot" minutes guy...he's a rhythm guy that needs consistent minutes. Pop is obviously doing what he normally does and is experimenting but I really do think that it isnt ideal to do with West. He looks lost EVERY SINGLE SECOND he is on the floor. I was hoping Pop would play him extensively against the Knicks. But the season is still just starting so we have time.
My thoughts exactly
Obviously not going to complain with the way D West fell in our laps..but i honestly thought he would flourish from the get go in reduced role playing next to Manu/Bobo ..the jury is still out, tho..
West isnt done. Hes just a terrible fit with The second unit. He actually doesn't play that badly with Timmy. But the second unit relies on so much ball movement and chemistry that David hasn't developed.
what i was going to say. I think since he took a paycut, he's not going to overexert himself too much, probably not til the end. Can't blame him. I think he'll be fine.
Don't blame it on someone who almost has no minutes played.
He is a terrible back-up center because he's not a center. Gortat just relaxed near the rim and tossed the ball in right over him. , Bonner is a better center.
The big question is: Will Pop ever give Boban a legit shot at being the back-up center?
Probably not. Pop is the same guy who refused to give the Spanish league MVP a chance for minutes ahead of washed up scrubby bigs because, as the quote goes if I remember right: "It wouldn't be fair" to not give minutes to the bad players who have been in the NBA before.
West gave up a lot of money and also has a sterling reputation for toughness and grit. It just "wouldn't be fair" to him to not let him be terrible in both the regular season and the playoffs.
5 games in, he's clearly still a little lost on both ends. This time he gets on the bench is probably for him to observe more. Heck, some guys don't learn our system in a year, expecting West to in 5 games is unrealistic.
He'll settle in eventually, it'll just take some time.
lol, West is going to save our ass in a playoff game and you are gonna feel real stupid about piling on a guy who is 5 games into a stint with a new team
What the h
