The way I see it, good Yogi is superior to Mason in (a) shooting the 3, (b) pushing the pace, and (c) not over-dribbling/being ball dominant. My sense is that neither sees the whole floor particularly well (in the half court game or on the break) but Yogi really surprised me with the job he did last night. He pushes the pace similarly to Fox, and that consistency would be important. And his ability to be a real threat from anywhere on the 3 point line is an improvement over Mason. The key for Yogi is establishing a good assist to turnover ratio. I'd definitely like to see more of him over Mason, and more of him, in general, if he brings what he did last night.
I was very impressed with Ferrel's play last night. It's hard not to love the spark he brings. It's also hard not to be reminded of Isaiah Thomas, but without the prohibitively oversized chip on his shoulder. Yogi fits right in with this crew of high energy, team-oriented players. Coach had iced Yogi for quite a few games, yet he stepped back onto the court like a professional, did his work, played within the system, and put up an insanely efficient 17pts/6asts in just 16 minutes. What more could you ask of such a low-profile free agent signing? Well done, Yogi!
Yogi was good last night. I don't think he was necessarily in the dog house. Joeger has a way of doing things so that he can keep the trust of his players. That's with consistency and providing opportunities. What you make of those opportunities are up to you, but you can't say you didn't have it or that you were treated differently.
Yogi and Mason play the same position, have the same physical stature and are fighting for the same playing time. Not much separates the two as far as physical ability goes. Mason was here last year and Yogi was not. I think it is completely fair and expected for Joeger to give Mason enough run to show what he can do and hold onto his spot, rather than immediately tossing him for the new shiny toy in Yogi. If and when the transition is made to Yogi permanently, the choice will be obvious and ample opportunities would have been had by all.

This team is making guards sprint the whole 48 mins. This will not last if you limit a rotation to 3 lead guards. You need 5 fresh legs rotating a fair share of minutes season round. So I don't want to ride a Mason vs Yogi for a spot topic. Coz in Joerger's system I observe it's more about Mason and Yogi rotating on that 3rd lead guard season-round in order to keep a good stock of fresh running legs.
I think we all wanted to see him play over Mason and wondered why we picked him up which was supposed to be a big deal and not play him.
I think it’s on the coach maybe thinking a need to play two players that knows our system and the tightening of the rotation and now he has gotten enough run with the team. But maybe that’s to simple of a answer because we didn’t play this offense much last year.
I often thought the last 15 or so games we needed to get a backup point guard as we were stalling out many nights with the second team on the floor. It may take me more games to change that feeling but I would be happy to see Yogi be that guy.
