High praise for Yogi on Mavs.com

https://www.mavs.com/on-the-inside-yogi-ferrell/

Sure, it's the Mav's own website, but at the same time it's a pretty nice and extensive analysis on Yogi's play for Dallas. The piece breaks down how Yogi uses his speed, three-point shot, and developing knowledge to elevate his game and become a legitimate threat by playing with "command".

"Think the game, see the game, and make a play. It sounds easy, but it really isn’t: NBA point guards carry more responsibility now than perhaps ever before.

Harris was referring to Seth Curry in the above quote, but he easily could have said the same thing about Yogi Ferrell, as well"...

... "Command is more than just handing out assists and playing like a quarterback, but Ferrell did that to a large degree this season. In his 36 appearances for Dallas, the Mavericks were 12-8 when he dished out 5+ assists, per Basketball-Reference. Dallas was 17-19 when he turned it over three or fewer times, but 16-13 when he gave it away twice or less, and a very respectable 10-7 when he made just one or fewer turnovers. But it’s about more than mere numbers in a box score.

Command is about bringing everything together — speed, athleticism, vision, smarts, deception — to put yourself and your teammates in positions to be successful. It’s being in total control.

Multiple gifs of plays illustrating specific concepts are included in the piece. And a bonus: We get an appearance by erstwhile Hoosier recruiting target Thon Maker as Yogi blows by him.

Really, Dallas fans are high on Yogi. And this piece is seriously complimentary of what he's done. But even when you ignore the enjoyable praise, you get a pretty nice breakdown on Yogi's play. It's worth reading.
