My Take
David Wesley is exactly the type of NBA story I find more compelling than any lottery-pick fairytale. Born in San Antonio in 1970, he came up through Longview High School and Baylor before grinding out a long career at the sport's highest level. At 183 cm he was undersized for a guard, and a player who claws his way up despite those odds always wins my respect. The fact that he later moved into coaching tells me he genuinely loves the game beyond the paycheck. Give me the scrapper who fought to belong over the can't-miss prospect any day; there is real character in that climb.
