Dallas came back from 25 down but ended up losing. Yogi had 15 points on 6-19 FG, 3-7 3FG, 5 assists, 2 steals. Was under control and made the right plays but he missed a bunch of layups. 
 

He's was fouled on a few of those layups. Good showing in summer league.

Extracted paragraphs.

Smith showed that winning nature during the MGM Resorts Summer League in Las Vegas last month, averaging 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals in six games as the Mavericks advanced to the semifinals of the tournament with a 5-1 record. Meanwhile, Ferrell picked up where he left off at last season, posting averages of 13.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.2 steals alongside Smith in the backcourt.

The two cat-quick guards are now expected to emerge as the frontrunners for the starting job. That said, Mavs owner Mark Cuban believes Ferrell’s competitive nature will make it a position battle to watch in training camp.

“I think Yogi and Dennis are going to push each other,” Cuban explained. “You know, Yogi is super competitive. He started a lot of games as a D-League call-up and basically a 10-day (signee), and I know that he’s just as competitive as Dennis is. They’re going to push each other. And I think that young core is what we want to continue to build on and grow with, and hopefully surprise a lot of people.”

Smith is my pick for ROY, I fully expect him to be the starting pg and Yogi to run the second unit.

Mavs lost to the Celtics 97-90.  Yogi about the only bright spot for the Mavs.  He only had 8 pts. in 34 minutes but he had 3 assists and hauled in 7 reb.  For the game, he was +15.  The only other player who played appreciable minutes in the plus column was Devin Harris at +7.  The rest of the starters and second unit were all - numbers.
