Syracuse, N.Y. -- After not being selected in Thursday night's NBA Draft, former Syracuse University guard Brandon Triche has signed as an undrafted free agent to play for the Charlotte Bobcats in the NBA's upcoming summer league in Las Vegas.

Triche confirmed the agreement with the Bobcats in a text message on Friday morning.

Triche averaged 13.6 points per game for Syracuse last season and helped the Orange advance to the NCAA's Final Four for the first time since 2003.

He had worked out for roughly a dozen NBA teams in the month leading up to the draft. He had hoped to work his way into the draft's second round, although most mock drafts had not listed him as a potential pick.

Now, however, Triche will have a chance to compete for a job with the Bobcats, while also displaying his skills in front of other NBA teams' scouts in the NBA's summer league.

Triche might have a chance to make Charlotte's roster. The Bobcats drafted only one player on Thursday night. Charlotte took Indiana's Cody Zeller with the No. 4 overall pick. Ironically, the final game of Zeller's college career came in a loss to Syracuse in the NCAA's Sweet 16 in Washington D.C. last March.

Charlotte is one of 22 NBA teams that will field teams in the Las Vegas Summer League. The summer league runs from July 12 to July 22.
