Tai Webster’s Off To Turkey To Join Galatasaray
When one door closes, another opens. When the NBA Summer League thing didn’t provide the preferred opportunities, well, a strong season in Germany still has its advantages.

When one door closes, another opens. When the NBA Summer League thing didn’t provide the preferred opportunities, well, a strong season in Germany still has its advantages.
Webster was always a good shot at getting back into the Summer League stuff after a fine season in Germany, his first as a pro since finishing up with Nebraska after four years. Playing for Fraport Skyliners he averaged 14.9 points, 3.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting 39.8% from deep and 48.0% from the field.
With only a classification match left to play the Golden State Warriors went and made a few ch-ch-ch-changes for their final game. Starting five of Tai Webster, Bryce Alford, Noah Allen, Kevon Looney and Damian Jones.
As Tai Webster’s Summer League travails stumbled along in Orlando with the Charlotte Hornets, older brother Corey’s had to wait his time for his own chance too... until Las Vegas.
So… the Charlotte Hornets thing didn’t work out as planned. One more hurdle to leap over for Tai Webster, he always knew there’d be a few of those.
Going undrafted was the first step. Had Tai Webster been picked up late in that second round, which was always an unlikely chance, then he coulda skipped all the other steps but that’s not what he was preparing for.
It’s gotta be a special one the day you get drafted into the NBA, should a fellow be so lucky. But outside those lottery dudes and a few renowned sleepers, simply getting drafted doesn’t guarantee anything.
