Displaying only the first/last name of user

I’ve got a ACF that allows me to select a different user. The field name is ‘writer.’ I’ve tried using this code:
<?php the_field('writer'); ?>
This spits out the user’s picture along with all of his/her information. I can’t figure out how to spit out just the display name, preferably with a link to that user’s page. Can anyone help me with that?
