Martell Webster brought in by Pelicans following Solomon Hill injury

The New Orleans Pelicans suffered a loss at wing with Solomon Hill’s injury. On The Woj Pod, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski went over the players brought in for workouts.

Among them? Former Blazer Martell Webster:

“They have a workout there, with, I’m told, Josh Smith, Chase Budinger, Martell Webster.”

Webster played five seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Taken as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft out of Seattle Prep, he never lived up to the lofty expectations a high pick like that comes with.

The pick came in the midst of the Steve Patterson Era, which came to an end soon after.
