He arrived to Kaunas on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Webster spent last season in the Australian basketball league, representing the New Zealand Breakers. He averaged 17.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 29 minutes of game time, all while shooting at a 38.2% clip from downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Before that he played two seasons in Turkey, representing Galatasaray in the EuroCup.
