"Webster's NBA journey began in 2006 when he joined the league office. By 2011, he was a key member of the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement team during the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season. A year later, he transitioned to team operations, joining the Toronto Raptors as Vice President of Basketball Management and Strategy. He quickly climbed the ranks, becoming assistant general manager, and in June 2017, he replaced Jeff Weltman as general manager-setting a league record as the youngest GM in NBA history at age 32."
"Through the first quarter of the upcoming season, Toronto is set to play eleven teams that, between their record last year and their over/under for the upcoming season (via Betway) average a record above .500. This includes all three of its games against the Eastern Conference favourite Cleveland Cavaliers. Another four of the Raptors first-quarter games are against teams that come in just under .500 by this measure like the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers."
Webster's NBA career began in 2006 in the league office and progressed to a role on the Collective Bargaining Agreement team by 2011. He moved into team operations with the Toronto Raptors in 2012 as Vice President of Basketball Management and Strategy, rising to assistant general manager and then becoming the youngest NBA general manager in 2017 at age 32. The organization elevated Webster to oversee both GM and president duties, maintaining internal continuity and avoiding leadership turbulence. Toronto's early-season slate includes numerous above-.500 opponents, three games versus Cleveland, several near-.500 teams that could improve, five games against bottom-feeders, and a season-high five-game road trip.
