Earlier this year, Yogimania took the world by storm (sort of). After four years at Indiana, the diminutive point guard went unselected in the 2016 Draft. But old Yogi Ferrell never gave up on finding that pic-a-nic basket of his NBA dream.
Ferrell initially found an NBA home with the Brooklyn Nets. After being largely unproductive with the team, he was demoted to the D-League. A couple of months later, the Mavericks came calling with a ten-day contract. As Mark Cuban would later say, the decision was made to sign Yogi because he went to Indiana, Cuban’s alma mater.
