James Southerland, the former Syracuse forward who went unselected in the 2013 NBA Draft, has signed with the Charlotte Bobcats for training camp, his agent Andy Shiffman told The Daily Orange on Saturday.

Southerland played with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors in the Orlando and Las Vegas summer leagues, respectively.

The forward had “a lot of choices” and “a lot of interest,” Shiffman said, but the Bobcats were the clear choice because of the opportunity that Southerland will have to make the roster.

“There’s definitely a clear path for him to make the team,” Shiffman said.

The Bobcats, who had the second worst record in the NBA last season, went 21-61 and finished 45 games out of first place in the Eastern Conference.

Southerland received a call late in the second round of the NBA Draft from the San Antonio Spurs asking whether he’d be willing to go play overseas. Instead, Southerland took his chances on the open market before landing with a pair of teams during the summer league and finding a spot in Charlotte’s training camp.
