I wholeheartedly agree with that. This guy is way more valuable than people are giving him credit for. He should be a priority for the Blazers and be a part of the long term future.
This whole streak coincided with him coming back into the mix from injury. I'm not saying he's the sole reason, but since when did the Blazers ever have the top 3-point percentage shooter in the NBA?
Outside shooting is a premium in this league, and Martell Webster just isn't consistent enough to warrant being the main outside threat for this team.
