. PG. Brooklyn Nets. YOGI FERRELL. C

Yogi Ferrell is treasured among many Nets fans, but unfortunately, Brooklyn moved in a different direction by signing Spencer Dinwiddie. He still plays for Long Island though, if you really miss seeing him play.

There isn’t all that much to say about Ferrell since he played in Brooklyn for less than a month and never started for the Nets. Hence, why he’s an honorable mention in this post. The former Hoosier only played in 10 games and saw his minutes decrease exponentially in his final three games in Brooklyn.

His numbers weren’t anything significant — just 5.4 points 1.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. Still, many fans and head coach Kenny Atkinson love Ferrell for the energy he brings to the floor even when he’s the smallest guy on the court. The “Energizer Bunny” will continue to rock on for the Long Island Nets in their inaugural season.

If the Nets’ point guard woes were to continue, it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see the team call Ferrell back up from Long Island. That is, unless another team scoops up the young guard, as the Philadelphia 76ers almost did.
