Not sure I was expecting Troy to have a better summer league than Yogi.

Didn't get to watch any summer league games. Whats the deal with Yogi? Numbers didn't look that great. Really thought he would impress here.

He wasn't on a very good team. He wasn't as aggressive as usual either. When he was he did well. He just looked nervous the whole time to me.

Yogi just agreed to a free-agent deal with the Nets, according to the Vertical

Happy for him. I'm honestly really shocked though I figured the Lin pick up and poor play in the summer league would've done him in. Hopefully he takes this chance and runs with it

Yogi lives to fight another day. Great to see. Hopefully summer league got rid of his jitters.

Will be hard to get playing time at first, though. Nets have Jeremy Lin, Greivis Vasquez, Shane Larkin, and Donald Sloan at the PG position. Possibly Isaiah Whitehead if they want him to be play some PG, too.

It's still partially guaranteed. This deal essentially guarantees him an invite to training camp and gives his NBADL rights to Brooklyn. I would say he's still a long shot to make their NBA roster. Rooting for him though! Would love to see him wow them in camp.

He is definitely not going to be on their roster next year unless some of Brooklyn's guards get injured. He will however be making significantly more than the D-League max salary of $25,000.

Just read Yogi's guarantee is the highest the Nets have ever given to an undrafted college player.

[jtheo66 38]

Maybe in a couple of years Yogi can provide some leadership to a franchise that is searching for an identity

I watched some of the game while he played. Looks pretty good on the offensive end distributing and getting his own shot. Still a little shaky on the defensive end but everyone on the Nets is so I don't know how much of it is him. He did draw a charge on a drive to the hoop; showing good lateral movement. 

Mike Breen and Walt Frazier(Knicks announcers) talked about him some between whistles with Walt even giving some rhyming superlatives.
