Career
David graduated from Longview High School in Longview, Texas. He was classmates with former NFL player Bobby Taylor. When Wesley left Baylor University in 1993, many player scouts considered him too small (at 6'1") to play as a shooting guard in the NBA, and doubted his ability to make the transition to point guard. He initially signed with the New Jersey Nets as an undrafted free agent, and has since played for the Boston Celtics, the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets and the Houston Rockets. Wesley long ago dispelled the initial doubts about his ability to succeed in the NBA; he has averaged almost 13 points and 4.6 assists per game over a 14-year career (through the 2006-07 season), including ten straight seasons with double-digit scoring averages (1995-96 through 2004-05). He has received praise as a tenacious man-to-man defender, and a reliable outside shooter. But in the 2006-07 season, he only played for 35 games and averaged career-lows of 2.1 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He also did not play any minutes during the playoffs.
