PG Earl Boykins as agreed to a 1 year, $1.3 mil deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN. At 5'5, Boykins is the modern day Mugsy Bogues. During his career he has played for 9 teams in 10 seasons, with 2007 being his best year when he averaged 15 points and 4 assists with the Denver Nuggets (31 games) and Washington Wizards (35 games).
With the Bucks, Boykins will be the 3rd string PG behind "Young Buck" Brandon Jennings and Keyon Dooling. More importantly, at 34 years old, he will be a mentor to Jennings, who the Bucks have pegged as a cornerstone of their team.
Being the second shortest player ever in the league (behind Bogues), Boykins is always a fan favorite. He does have an electric game though, as he is sneaky, quick, and is a long range shooter.
Normally players comment via Twitter when their signed, but as Inside Hoops pointed out, Boykins is not on Twitter because he can't reach the keyboard. I feel bad writing that. Get 'em Earl.
