PORTLAND — Brief, fleeting glimpses have allowed Martell Webster to catch sight of it.
After four and a half years in the NBA and a career’s worth of physical and psychological ups and downs, the Trail Blazers small forward said he can finally view his ceiling.
But Webster was adamant that he is nowhere near to touching it.
“It’s there,” said the 6-foot-7, 235-pound Seattle native. “I can see it.”
After burning through January, Webster is averaging 10.8 points and 4.0 rebounds this season. In the process, he has become Portland’s premier outside shooting threat.
Blazers lead assistant coach Dean Demopoulos said time and patience have allowed Webster, 23, to approach his ceiling.
