Corey Webster Excited for Shot With Pelicans

Corey Webster doesn’t think about the crossroads so much these days, especially not now that he’s standing at the foot of the stairway to hoops heaven.

(New Zealand native) Webster, C-Web to his mates, has been offered no guarantees, no assurances. Just a shot. But the Pelicans, home of NBA megastar Anthony Davis, have a roster spot open for a shooting guard who’s a long-range threat. It just so happens Webster fits that bill to a tee – if he can just convince (Pelicans head coach Alvin) Gentry to take a chance on him.

“This is the dream starting to come true,” Webster said at Breakers headquarters on Saturday as he explained an opportunity first raised on Thursday, before fast-forwarding into an imminent reality on a frantic Friday of almost unimaginable proportions. I’m a little … not really nervous, more excited. I was having a hard time processing it all yesterday because it was coming up so fast and there was a lot to organize, but it’s sunk in now and I’m real excited to go.”
