Former Indiana guard helps Long Island to upset of Fort WayneYogi Ferrell

 

Yogi Ferrell scores 16 in Nets win

Long Island earned perhaps its most impressive victory of the 2016-17 NBA D-League season thus far Friday, as it stunned Fort Wayne 118-113 in front of 2,508 fans at Memorial Coliseum.

The Nets (4-11) came in to the game in fifth place out of six Atlantic Division teams, while the Mad Ants (9-3) were in first place in the Central Division. However, Long Island made plays down the stretch to stretch a fourth quarter tie into a win.

The Nets got double-figure scoring from five players, including 16 points from former Indiana University star Yogi Ferrell.

Ferrell hit 6 of 13 shots, including both 3-pointers and also dished out five assists and made three steals. He did toss away four turnovers, however.

He was joined by teammates Trahson Burrell (21 points, 10 rebounds, five assists), Mike Scott (23 points), Chris McCullough (14 points, nine rebounds), and Donnie McGrath (12 points, six assists) in contributing to the upset.

Fort Wayne rallied in the second quarter to tie the game and remained tied into the final period. The Mad Ants were paced by forward Alex Poythress, who scored a game-high 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Indiana Pacer forward Rakeem Christmas finished with 10 points in 24 minutes, but was minus-12 in the plus/minus category.

Travis Leslie added 21 points for Fort Wayne, while University of Indianapolis product Jordan Loyd had 16 and Trey McKinney-Jones 12.

Long Island shot 45 percent from 3-point range, while the Mad Ants managed to sink just 8 of 31 (26 percent) from long range. That helped the Nets overcome eight missed free throws.

Following a 6-1 start to the season, Fort Wayne is just .500 in its last six games.

The Mad Ants will host Greensboro Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the coliseum.

Yogi Ferrell stars in Long Island loss at D-League Showcase

http://www.netsdaily.com/2017/1/22/14350162/yogi-ferrell-stars-in-long-island-loss-at-d-league-showcase

With the D-League Showcase in suburban Toronto over, expect NBA teams to start offering 10-day deals to the best performers over the four-day, league-wide event.

Yogi Ferrell, who became a free agent when the Nets waived him in favor of Spencer Dinwiddie, made his case for a call-up Saturday when he scored 27 points and handed out nine assists in Long Island’s 122-117 loss to Grand Rapids. It was a back-and-forth game with the Drive having the upper hand most of the way.

Ferrell finished with a 7-of-14 performance, including a stellar 6-of-10 from deep and a perfect night at the foul line. Ferrell was one of three players with NBA experience who scored more than 20 for the young Nets. Carrick Felix, the 6’6” small forward finished with 21 (7-of-15, 4-of-8). Lazar Hayward, another 6’6” swing man, also had 21 (9-of-15, 0-of-3) and grabbed eight boards.

Looks like Yogi is headed to the Mavs on a 10 day contract.

@ShamsCharania: The Mavericks are planning to sign guard Yogi Ferrell of D-League's Long Island on a 10-day contract, league sources tell The Vertical.

Jeff Rabjohns ‏@JeffRabjohns:  The Dallas Mavericks have completed the deal and signed @YogiFerrell11 to a 10-day contract.

Show'em your stuff Yogi.  Far better organization to be associated with than the Nets.

[Crimson and Cream 5,795]

Odd that the Mavs signed him with Pierre Jackson looking so good recently. Maybe AJ Hammons put in a good word for Yogi lol!

Yogi is on a 10 day.
I would get that Mavs jersey on a rent-to-own basis.

The following are tweets from Earl Sneed beat writer for the Mavericks.

Rick Carlisle says Yogi Ferrell is "as quick a study" the @dallasmavs have ever seen. Carlisle credits Ferrell's high basketball IQ.

 

Yogi Ferrell: "I come from a program (at Indiana) where basketball IQ is everything."

A really good first night in a Maverick uniform for Yogi as the Mavs beat the Spurs 105-101.  Prior to this game, Mavs had lost 12 straight in San Antonio. Hadn't won there since Nov. 26, 2010.  Yogi played 36 minutes and scored 9 pts. on 3-9 FG shooting.  He had 2 reb., 7 assts., 2 stls and 0 TO's.  Considering this was the first game he played with Dallas, I think 7 assists and 0 TO's is pretty outstanding.

[hoosierpap 14,300]

I saw some positive twitter buzz from people not covering IU about Yogi. I really hope he carves a role out somewhere.

[Stuhoo 80,466]

Dallas broke a 12 game losing streak by winning at San Antonio.
Yogi was the Dallas leader in plus/minus, had seven assists and zero turnovers in 36 minutes, and hit two game clinching free throws with seven seconds left.
That's as good as it gets.
