Ferrell, the former Indiana Hoosier point guard, was recently waived by the Brooklyn Nets on October 21 after he making three appearances in preseason. Ferrell was cut due to the experienced NBA players above him at the point guard position, Jeremy Lin and Greivis Vasquez.
The first trait that Ferrell can bring to the Swarm is his high basketball IQ. This allows him to play extended minutes while limiting his total fouls. In his four seasons at Indiana, Ferrell averaged 2.1 fouls per game, and never recorded higher than 60 fouls in one season.
