Lincoln – Rising senior Tai Webster (Auckland, New Zealand) looks to help New Zealand to an Olympic berth, as the 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament takes place this week.
Webster, a 6-foot-4, 196-pound guard, has spent most of June in training camp in preparation for the tournament, as the team has travelled to China and Latvia before arriving in Manila earlier this week.
Webster, the youngest member of New Zealand’s team, has been the starting point guard throughout the eight-game tour over the last month, averaging 10.8 points, 2.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game entering this week’s tournament.
