Webster with the three, they been saying he can shoot since I saw him in the McD's High School game. See if he's got something this year.

LMA is a beast!

Webster putting on the floor, gets fouled by Bowen, non shooting. Kid's got 19, no free throws yet. Just a jump shooting swingman. Oh nice shot 21

Good points. Any thoughts on Portland? I was pretty suprised, I think they could be a decent team in a couple of years. They run the ball well, can score, and have done pretty well with responding to two or three SA runs. Especially at the end of both of the first two quarters

Yeah, Portland is building their team the right way. They have a ton of great young talent. Webster and Aldridge in particular have been impressive tonight. A key player to watch this year is Jarrett Jack. I like the guy since he was a Yellow Jacket but he needs to take some big steps this year to prove he deserves a starting PG role.

I hate Webster, I think he sucks hard.

Maybe he'll stop sucking this year. It'd be useful if he did. But I doubt it.

Went to HS with him. Dude can shoot the lights out, he's just needed more confidence which it looks like he has this yr

Webster finally showing why they were comparing him to Ray Allen

[Green Kool Aid]

webster is weird bc apparently he's relatively athletic but he never uses it to his advantage. pretty sweet stroke though.

Yep... think it's cause he needs better handles. He's only 20 though so still plenty of time.

Key to ball handling is fingertip control.
