Tai Webster Re-Signs with NZ

Highly sought after point guard Tai Webster has signed a new two-year deal with the New Zealand Breakers.
 
An excitement machine in NBL21, Webster averaged 17.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
 
Webster says working under Head Coach Dan Shamir again, is the best path for his professional career.
 
"Dan Shamir is a mastermind," says Webster.
 
"There's a lot to be excited about. I get to play in front of my family again, I get to play alongside my brother and my friends, so it's a lot of different exciting stuff for me."
 
The 26-year-old also admits the signing of kiwi centre Yanni Wetzell on a three-year deal, and Australian Will McDowell-White returning for a further year, played a significant role in him committing for two years.
 
"Will is scary talented, scary athletic, that boy is so talented, it's exciting to have another point guard with that ability," says Webster.
 
"I've known Yanni since we were little kids, we played soccer together when we were five, six years old, his parents used to take us to practice and stuff like that, that's one of my 'homies' for real."
 
Shamir is excited by the commitment of Wetzell, Webster and McDowell-White for NBL22.
 
"It is amazing to have both Yanni and now Tai on multi-year deals," says Shamir.
 
"Anyone who knows basketball knows a lot of places don't recover from seasons like that, but the faith from Tai, Yanni, and Will means a lot." 

Webster joins Yanni Wetzell, Will McDowell-White, Corey Webster, Tom Abercrombie, Finn Delany, Kyrin Galloway, Rob Loe, Rasmus Bach, Ousmane Dieng and Sam Timmins on the Breakers NBL22 roster.
