One cannot help but to root for the diminutive dynamo that is Yogi Ferrell. The performance that Ferrell put on during his 10-day contract with the Mavericks is exactly what every undrafted D-leaguer, fringe professional, college player, and aspiring to-be pro hopes to be able accomplish.
We took a general look last month at Yogi’s season, but let’s revisit some basics:
Ferrell averaged 14.2 ppg, 1.036 points per possession, 4.7 apg, 45 percent FG, 95 percent FT, and 47 percent 3PT during that magical 10-game stretch. Throughout the remainder of the season, Ferrell’s play tailed off slightly but he managed to post solid numbers through the spring.
