The ‘Energizer Bunny’: Electric rookie PG trying to make Nets

Undrafted rookie Yogi Ferrell has an uphill climb to make the Nets’ roster. But the high-octane point guard has more than enough energy to climb, crawl, run or anything else the team needs.

“He’s the Energizer Bunny. We saw that in Summer League. He can score in bunches. He’s dynamic. He’s done a really good job in camp,” coach Kenny Atkinson said. “He’s developing and working the pass a little better and finding pockets, especially hitting those roll guys a little more. But he has a scorer’s mentality, so it’s a fine line between pulling him back and letting him go.
