Martell Webster brought in by Pelicans following Solomon Hill injury

Former Blazer Martell Webster appears to be making an NBA comeback.

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.

Webster’s best season by far with Portland was 2007-08. The forward started 70 of the 75 games he appeared in during the season.

He set a then career-high with 10.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. He also shot 38.8 percent from 3-point land.

But, the following season, Webster only appeared in one game before a left foot injury sidelined him; the forward played five minutes the entire season.

Webster only lasted one more season in Portland before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ryan Gomes and the draft rights to Luke Babbitt.

While in Minnesota, Webster went under for back surgeries, prompting GM David Kahn to file suit against the Blazers for not fully disclosing his injury.

Portland settled for $1.5 million, a large settlement for that kind of case.

After two seasons in Minnesota, Webster moved on to Washington.

Here he enjoyed his best scoring season ever in 2012-13 with 11.4 points per game. This season also was Webster’s best 3-point shooting season at 44.2 percent.

But, more injuries plagued the forward, and following a surgery for a torn labrum, the Wizards waived him during the 2014-15 season.

The 6’7” 3-point shooter is currently 30 years old and almost two years out from his last NBA action.

New Orleans lacks 3-point shooting on their roster, and Webster presents the best bet considering Smith and Budinger don’t have his shooting pedigree.
