The Wellington Saints are confident Corey Webster's professional basketball career is far from finished.

Webster is currently playing for the Saints in the National Basketball League with an option to leave immediately should another club show interest in signing him.

Webster scored 29 points in their season opener and despite being let go by the Breakers and a pending court case hanging over his head, Saints head coach Kevin Braswell says the future is bright for Webster.

Braswell says he's happy to have him in Wellington but if Webster receives an offer from overseas then he'll be the first to make him take it because he's that type of talent.
