The Sixers signed Boise State forward James Webb III to a partially guaranteed two-year deal with the opportunity to compete for a roster spot, according to The Vertical's Shams Charania

Webb was free to sign with any team after going undrafted on Thursday night. The Boise State forward declared for the draft after his sophomore season and worked out with the Sixers in late May. 

Webb averaged 15.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals for the Broncos last season. The 22-year-old had previously played a year in junior college. The 6-9, 202 lb. forward ranked No. 72 among prospects by Draft Express. 

The Sixers are looking to fill out their Summer League roster with undrafted players after adding three first round picks on Thursday with No. 1 overall Ben Simmons, No. 24 Timothe Luwawu and No. 26 Furkan Korkmaz. 

Summer League rosters consist mostly of first- and second-year players, including both drafted and undrafted players. The Sixers previously announced that 2014 No. 3 overall pick Joel Embiid will not play in Summer League despite being cleared for five-on-five workouts

The Sixers begin Summer League on July 9 in Las Vegas against No. 2 overall pick Brandon Ingram and the Los Angeles Lakers.
