West deemed steal of 2003 draft

So they’re saying at Bleacher Report:

West’s NBA career started off slow. He had a poor rookie season, averaging only 3.8 points per game. In 2005, West got hurt and only played 30 games. In 2006, his career skyrocketed.  He drastically improved by averaging 17.1 PG, and 7.4 RB. In 2007 he got hurt, but still put up good numbers: 18.3 PG, 8.2 RB. In 2008, he had his best season to date, averaging 20.6 PG, and 8.9 RB.  West has made the All-Star team twice, in 2008 and 2009.
