Yogi Ferrell took another step toward a potential NBA career Monday.
The former IU guard signed with Keith Kreiter, an agent who also represents former IU forwards Will Sheehey and Christian Watford. He is also the founder and CEO of Edge Sports International, which represents more than 70 players in 30 countries around the world.
Both Sheehey and Watford went undrafted before signing with the Chicago based sports agent after the NBA draft..
Ferrell led the Hoosiers to the Sweet 16 and an outright Big Ten regular season title his senior season. It was Ferrell’s second outright Big Ten title and trip to the Sweet 16 in his four-year IU career.
He averaged 17.3 points a game his senior season to go along with 5.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds and was a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten selection, a Wooden Award All-American and a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award.
In the latest DraftExpress mock draft Ferrell was projected to be drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 57th overall pick. The NBA draft will take place June 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
