Deciphering the rise of Yogi Ferrell

Yogi Ferrell has been a joy. He’s seemingly come out of nowhere to spark a Mavs team that desperately needed it, giving the team crucial minutes at point guard while Deron Williams and J.J. Barea are on the shelf.

It’s kind of staggering how effective he is. Despite the two straight losses, Yogi’s numbers are incredible – a little over 16 points and 36.7 minutes per game, 47.1 percent from three on over five shots a game and only 1.7 turnovers per game. He dropped 32 on Damian Lillard. He’s great.
