Now preparing to usher in a new era with Dirk Nowitzki in his final years, the Dallas Mavericks have done a stellar job setting themselves up for a bright future.

Though the addition of center DeAndre Jordan gives them veteran stability inside, the addition of draft pick Luka Doncic will spearhead their next generation. Dallas already rostered a few other young assets, including free agent guard Yogi Ferrell who has now also committed to remaining a Maverick. According to Yahoo’s Shams Charania, Ferrell will re-sign with the Mavs on a two-year deal worth $5.3 million.

Sources: Free agent Yogi Ferrell has agreed to a two-year, $5.3M deal to re-sign with the Dallas Mavericks. Ferrell was promised the backup shooting guard position to start next season.

As specified by the report, Ferrell was guaranteed to be the backup shooting guard, which isn’t his natural position at only 6 feet tall. However, Ferrell likely wanted to be ensured of a spot in Dallas’ rotation and the backup 2 appears to be the last opening following the departure of the oft-injured Seth Curry.

Though Doncic is perceived to translate best as a point guard and floor general, he will likely have to get the start at shooting guard thanks to electrifying second-year man Dennis Smith Jr. However, Smith Jr. already has a backup that head coach Rick Carlisle trusts in JJ Barea, which is what will render Ferrell as the second shooting guard.

Despite his role, Yogi Ferrell should still be a valuable piece for a budding Mavericks roster gunning for a playoff spot in an unforgiving Western Conference.
