Yogi Ferrell And Seth Curry Are The Surprise Of The Nba Season

... is the answer to something is dumb. The Sacramento Kings are in the lottery every year. How's that working? Minnesota even has two No. 1 overall picks (they've had three). How's that working? Winning and achieving something is better than thinking there are automatic answers down at the bottom of the pool. Question: If the Mavs do end up trading Bogut do you think Dirk will play more center. Tim Cowlishaw: Yes I think that's a natural thing to do. If Mejri produced every night like last night, maybe not so much. But the smaller lineup (Dirk's not small, but you know what I mean, he's a 4 playing a 5) is a shooters' lineup and that's a good way to go. Incredible run this team is on and, no, I did not see it coming. Question: Now that he's been hurt like 4 times now.what do you think the Mavs can get out of Andrew Bogut in a trade. Tim Cowlishaw: Not a lot. A pick of some sort. Just can't stay healthy. People know he helps at the defensive end even when he's limited so there's some value ...

Mavs Need To Hand The Reins Over To Seth Curry And Yogi Ferrell And Live With The Results

... outside the 510 in Northern California. Rick Carlisle is proud after Mavericks' win over Cavs: 'We're an underrated [expletive] team'. The prospects of another one-and-done might not thrill you as much as it would Rick Carlisle or Dirk Nowitzki or the rest of the [expletive] team its head coach described so colorfully after Monday's exhilarating win. What you'd prefer, probably, is a lottery pick. Maybe even No. 1. Everyone's consensus is Markelle Fultz, the Washington point guard and best prospect at the position since John Wall. He's big, smart, athletic and a terrific shooter. On Tuesday's @Ballzypodcast, ESPN's Fran Fraschilla called Fultz the surest star in this draft. Of course, there are other fine players, as well. Lonzo Ball, the UCLA point guard often compared to Jason Kidd, only with a better shot. And Josh Jackson, Kansas' exciting wing. Fraschilla, an expert on European talent, is also high on a point guard from ...

Meyers Leonard And Recent News On Yogi Ferrell And Tim Hardaway Jr

... -Meyers Leonard (Portland Trailblazers). Besides Meyers Leonard’s beef with De Marcus Cousins , it’s been a quiet season for the former Illinois big man. Leonard is averaging 5.4 points and 3 rebounds in 15 minutes of playing time coming off the bench. What’s been most disappointing for Leonard, is his shooting numbers are down. He’s shooting just 36% from the field and 33% from three. Portland’s management resigned Leonard in the offseason because of his ability to hurt defenses in the pick and pop combination with Damien Lillard. Leonard’s value is based on his potential to stretch the defense when Lillard has the ball. The defense has to respect Lillard’s ability to pull up from anywhere. That allows Leonard to get plenty of open looks when the defense collapses on Lillard. Even with open looks, Leonard hasn’t been connecting on enough threes so far this season. With Leonard not making nearly enough shots and Al-Farouq Aminu back from injury, it’s hard for Leonard to find playing time. Blazers coach Terry Stotts has ...

Yogi Ferrell Is The Goat

... I can understand why you’d be skeptical, but the Mavs were 16-30 before the got Yogi Ferrell and they had back-to-back games against the Spurs and the Cavs coming up. They are now 18-30, having won both games, and the only thing that’s changed between the 16-30 and the 18-30 team with two wins over two of the three best teams in the NBA is Yogi Ferrell. Not only that, but Yogi played pretty well. In his two games as a Mav, he’s played 37 minutes a game. Starter’s minutes, but of course he deserves them. Because he’s the finest player in the history of the game. Not only that, but he’s been on the court pretty much whenever the team’s been doing well. He was a team high +12 against the Spurs, and +10 against the Cavs – behind only Wes (+14) and Dirk (+24). They only won those games by four and points, respectively, so it’s pretty much clear it’s all Yogi. I mean listen, it’s not like it’s 100% clear what Yogi does well. So far he’s shot competently from three (4-10), but not from anywhere else. He’s not ...

The Short Nets Career Of One Yogi Ferrell

... guarantees. He had played 10 games with the parent club, averaging 5.8 points per game with a high game of 13 and a few games in Long Island as an affiliate player. Then on December 8, the Nets cut him from the Brooklyn roster in a surprise move and signed another point guard, Spencer Dinwiddie, from the D-League’s Windy City Bulls. Back to Long Island where he began to shine. He was a free agent. Any team could call him up. To enhance his skills and value, Nored paired him with Donnie Mc Grath, a 32-year-old pass-first point. Ferrell took advantage of it, unleashing his three-point shooting prowess as the off-guard. Between December 10 and January 25, he made at least one three in 17 straight games. During that streak, he hit 40 percent of his three’s, and had some spectacular performances, including a 34-point effort on December 30 and seven other games where scored at least 20 points, often leading the team in points and three’s. Finally, last week, after two particularly solid performances, the inquiries began to flood in: a lucrative ...

... and seven rebounds in the first unit. Meanwhile, Harris registered 14 points in a reserve role, and Ferrell scored 11 points to go with his five assists in the starting lineup. “That was my opportunity, and the coach has a lot of confidence in me. He just threw me in there, and I did good,” Mejri said of his big performance. “I missed my first two shots, and then everything started to fall in. I mean, there was nothing special. I just tried to play hard, tried to bring the energy, and everybody knows I can do that. I try to bring the energy and play hard every night.”. Okafor led four 76 ers in double figures with 16 points on 7-of-16 shooting. But the Mavericks outshot the Sixers for the game, 46.5 percent to 45.5 percent, adding a 51-39 rebounding advantage and converting Philadelphia’s 13 turnovers into 17 points. “Salah had the big game, and he gave us a great rim-rolling presence,” Carlisle concluded. “He got a couple of lobs, and we had some real balance tonight. Seth ended up having a pretty big scoring night, but he didn’t start off great. Yogi got to ...

Sixers Vs. Mavericks At A Glance

... That led to a 129-103 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 21, 2016 at the American Airlines. He scored 31 points to go with a team-high eight rebounds and a blocked shot. He exited the game with 6 minutes, 17 seconds remaining. Okafor basically did whatever he wanted to do no matter who guarded him. He scored on floaters, turnaround jumpers, tip-ins, and dunks. The problem was he didn’t get much consistent help on the offensive end. And defensively, the Sixers were a wreck. Nerlens Noel didn't play a lot of minutes because of foul trouble. The Sixers center picked up three fouls and played just 6 minutes, 42 seconds in the first half. He picked up his fifth foul at the 4:37 mark of the third quarter and exited the game again. Noel returned with 10:53 left. But at the time, the Sixers were down, 99-80. He finished with four points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and a block in less than 19 minutes. Offensively, the Sixers didn't have a consistent second scorer to ...

Lebron James Always An Attraction

... on Sunday. Will he or won't he: Le Bron James, like many  veterans, occasionally is rested in situations where the medical and coaching staff of the Cavaliers believes it is best for him and the team's long-term goals. Tonight could be one of those nights. James played 36 minutes against Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon. Granted, the Cavaliers were in Dallas well before midnight Sunday, landing about the same time as the Mavericks, so while this technically is the second night of back-to-back games, the Cavaliers should be rested. The smart money is on James playing, but it wouldn't be a stunner if he didn't. Seth Curry shows how much he has grown in first season with Mavericks. Tough assignment: The Cavaliers are rolling with the best record in the Eastern Conference. And it's not particularly close. The Mavericks have lost four in a row to the Cavs, including a 38-point blasting earlier this year in Cleveland. "Yeah, this is probably the toughest one this season," Harrison Barnes said. "But I like the way we're playing right now and we'll get after it." Hopefully, the Mavericks ...

Me And Yogi Ferrell Need To Be Thrown Into That Best Backcourt Conversation

... On PG Yogi Ferrell, the. Mavs' newest sensation. Seth Curry: "You gotta give credit to coach [Rick Carlisle]. He's kind of simplified [things] for him. He's learning on the fly. He's going out there being aggressive, making plays. I don't feel too sorry for him, because I'm playing a lot of minutes myself, handling the ball, but I really appreciate him being another guy who can go out there and make plays for myself and for other people, and for himself. He's doing a great job just being confident and not being afraid of the moment.". Mavs need to hand the reins over to Seth Curry and Yogi Ferrell and live with the results. Has he gotten any advice. from big brother lately. Curry: "Nothing too much. I mean, we talk all the time, we text all the time, so it's nothing too different as of lately. But, I've just ...

Damian Lillard Favored Vs. Yogi Ferrell

... with a second consecutive double-double, both being near triple-doubles. Russell led all starters with 17 points on 5-15 shooting (4 three-pointers). He continues to progress at running the offense as he matched John Wall with 11 assists, though the young guard turned the ball over 7 times. Adding 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block, Russell played as the top bargain option at point guard with a 6.7 value. Though Austin Rivers’ time in Los Angeles may be coming to an end, he remains a valuable option for the time being. Rivers played 36 minutes in the loss to Golden State as a valuable offensive weapon. He scored 18 points on 7-15 shooting along with 6 assists. His defensive effort of 4 rebounds and 1 block was limited, but yielded results nonetheless.  Rivers ended the evening with a 5.48 value to rank second among point guards in that reguard. Elite Tier Pick (+$8,500). Kyle Lowry – $9600 – 44.11 Points. Standing as the top Elite option, Kyle Lowry has ...
