ESPN's Mark Stein reported on Wednesday that free-agent swingman Martell Webster worked out for the Washington Wizards this week and is one of the teams the 25-year old veteran is considering signing with for the upcoming 2012-2013 NBA season:

Webster appeared in 47 games for the Minnesota Timberwolves -- starting 26 of them -- during the lockout-shortened 2011-2012 campaign and averaged 6.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in 24 minutes of action on the floor. He also shot 42 percent from the field and 34 percent from beyond the three-point line.

His addition to the Wizards would give the team a legitimate threat from long range was Webster is a career 37 percent shooter from long range.
