After the New Orleans Pelicans’ already shallow small forward depth was made worse by Solomon Hill’s injury, the team has brought in possible wing reinforcements in veterans Martell Webster, Josh Smith, and Chase Budinger for workouts, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

With Hill out for six to eight months and Quincy Pondexter recently traded to the Chicago Bulls, Darius Miller is now the lone nominal small forward on the entire Pelicans roster.

New Orleans is well short of reliable perimeter shooting, which is why they are taking a look at Webster. The 30-year-old is attempting to make an NBA comeback after a couple of years out of the league.

Drafted No. 6 overall in 2005, Webster last played for the Washington Wizards in the 2014-15 campaign and was cut after suffering a serious hip injury. He has averaged 8.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assist per game on 38 percent 3-point shooting over his 10-year NBA career.

Smith is similarly interested in making a return. He last played for the Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets during the 2015-16 season. In 55 total games, he averaged just 6.0 points and 3.5 rebounds, and shot 29 percent from beyond the arc.

Smith doesn’t offer any shooting whatsoever and is more of a power forward. But the Pelicans are desperate for anyone who can conceivably play small forward minutes and the 31-year-old may still have enough athleticism left to play on the perimeter.

Meanwhile, Chase Budinger's athleticism and already limited productivity have been sapped by a number of knee injuries, and also hasn't been a terrific shooter for his career. The 28-year-old last played for the Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns in 2015-16. He averaged 4.1 points and shot just 28 percent from beyond the arc in 66 total games that season.
