Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Kevin Duane "Yogi" Ferrell Jr. was born in 1993 in Indianapolis. He is the son of Kevin Ferrell Sr. and Lydia Ferrell. His mother Lydia nicknamed him "Yogi" as a child because he was always eating like the cartoon character Yogi Bear. Ferrell has one brother and two sisters. For high school, the speedy guard attended and played basketball at Park Tudor in Indianapolis. During his last two seasons there, he led the school to back-to-back 2A IHSAA State Championships. During his senior year, he averaged 18.5 points, 6.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game. Ferrell was named a McDonald's All-American and was runner-up to Gary Harris for Indiana Mr. Basketball honors. Ferrell then attended Indiana University. As a pro, the six-foot guard started the Ferrell Family Foundation while with the Mavericks. The mission of the foundation is to bring awareness and support to the foster care system. Fans can follow the Indiana native on Twitter (@YogiFerrell11) and Instagram (@YogiFerre11). Yogi Ferrell attended Indiana University from 2012 to 2016. Over four years as a Hoosier, the Indianapolis native started all 137 games in which he appeared for Indiana. As a freshman (2012-13), Ferrell averaged 7.6 points and 4.1 assists per game on his way to earning Big Ten All-Freshman honors. His stats increased nicely as a sophomore, as Ferrell delivered a team-leading 17.3 points, 3.9 assists and 2.8 three-pointers per game while shooting 40.0 percent from three-point range. Ferrell was named to the All-Big Ten first team in his junior (2014-15) and senior season (2015-16). As a senior, he led the Hoosiers to the 2016 NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen before falling to North Carolina. For the 2016-17 season, along with leading Indiana in assists per game (5.6), Ferrell led the Hoosiers in points (17.3), and field goals (5.6) per game and was second on the squad in three points (2.3) and steals (1.1) per game for the 15-16 season. When his four years at Indiana concluded, Ferrell was ninth all time in the Big Ten in career assists with 633. And he held the Indiana University career mark in games played and started at 137.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2017
2016
In his first season with the Kings, Ferrell most commonly operated as breakout star point guard De'Aaron Fox's backup. He appeared in 71 contests for Sacramento, averaging 5.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 15.0 minutes per game. He also shot a career-high 43.5 percent from the field and 36.2 percent from behind the arc. While Ferrell has established himself as a quality backup point guard in this league, the Kings, looking to make a strong push towards the postseason, went ahead and signed Cory Joseph to a three-year contract this offseason, which puts Ferrell's role with the team in jeopardy. Joseph has made a living as one of the league's most reliable backup point guards since he was drafted by the Spurs back in 2011. With that, the Kings likely signed Joseph as a more reliable option behind Fox, so Ferrell, barring injury, may spend most of the season on the outside of the rotation or playing very limited minutes. As the backup to a high-usage guard like Fox, Ferrell's fantasy value was already rather low, but the addition of Joseph takes it to a level where Ferrell, for the most part, can be safely avoided.
Ferrell played all 82 games last year for the Mavericks, including 21 starts. Coach Rick Carlisle placed him in a sixth-man role where he saw 27.8 minutes. In that time, the second-year guard averaged 10.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He also shot well from beyond the arc, hitting 1.6 threes per tilt at 37.3 percent. However, with the Mavericks drafting Luka Doncic, the backcourt was going to be too crowded for Ferrell to see significant run, so he opted to sign with Sacramento, where he was also offered more money. Still, it may be tough for Ferrell to crack the workload he saw last season, as he'll be backing up starting point guard De’Aaron Fox.
Despite being an undrafted free agent, Ferrell saw plenty of interest going into the 2016-17 season. He spent training camp with the Nets and despite not making the regular-season roster initially, Ferrell was eventually signed by Brooklyn in early November for backcourt depth. However, after just 10 games with the Nets, he was eventually let go, which cleared the way for him to sign multiple 10-day contracts with the Mavericks. After liking what they saw, Ferrell was eventually signed for the rest of the season and with injuries galore in the backcourt, he earned 29 starts in the 36 games he played in. Ferrell finished the season averaging 11.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 29.1 minutes with the Mavericks. That established him as a legitimate NBA player and a potential starter with Deron Williams no longer in the picture. However, the Mavericks went ahead and selected Dennis Smith with the ninth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, bringing in one of the elite point guards from the college ranks. That's absolutely devastating for Ferrell's value, as Smith should open the season as the team's starting point guard and will get all the minutes he can handle. That should push Ferrell to a bench role, where he'll fight for minutes with the likes of Seth Curry and J.J. Barea. With a significant drop in playing time and production expected, Ferrell likely won't be worth a look in anything but the deepest of leagues.
An undrafted free agent out of Indiana, Ferrell signed a partially guaranteed deal with the Nets in the summer and will attempt to make the team out of camp. The undersized Ferrell, a celebrated recruit in the 2012 high school class, steadily improved each year at Indiana, capping off his career with a strong senior season, during which he averaged 17.3 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals en route to unanimous First-Team All-Big Ten honors. Despite Ferrell's stellar college career, making the final roster won't be an easy task. Brooklyn already has 15 guaranteed contracts on the ledger, so it would have to part ways with one of those players in order to accommodate Ferrell.

Ferrell remains unsigned but interest in his services has been picking up, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
ANALYSIS
Ferrell spent the 2019-20 season with the Kings, appearing in 50 games off the bench and averaging 4.4 points while drilling 30.4 percent of his three-point shots. He hasn't been the same player that thrived with the Mavericks between 2016 and 2018, but he could still be a serviceable player for the veteran's minimum.
