With the departure of AL 'Boss' Horford and Paul Millsap aka 'The Anchorman', we suddenly have a deficit of top players with fun monikers on our squad.
Dennis has a few obvious ones: Nintendo DS, The Menace, German Chocolate
But a couple have popped up for our forwards that are pretty solid:
I really like the Fresh Prince reference for Taurean

I really hope the "German Chocolate" nickname does not stick with DS. I will never call him that. never..lol.
I also dont like the John the Baptist nickname..but thats just me. Fresh Prince of Baylor is cool.

I called Taurean 'Prince of Thieves' last Summer League when he racked up a ton of steals. Unfortunately he didn't play much in reg. season.

John The Baptizer and Golden Patch or just Vrooom for Dennis.

I like Goldie or Lil Goldie as the NBA TV guys call him. I think a few folks called Taurean fresh Prince, but I haven't seen the ending of that til today.
I do remember the dj playing an uhh from the opening of kiss when Taurean made a ft basket..lol...I hoped that would catch on.

How about DAB for DeAndre Bembry?
I like Fresh for Taurean and Baptist for Collins, but you could also go with JoCo, or Team JoCo for Collins.

Let's just not.
Who is the one true JC? I'm drawing a blank.
Jesus Christ.
Spoiler:
The 'John the Baptist' jokes were pushing the limits of good taste. Amusing and mostly harmless.
But jokes mentioning Collins and Jesus are...not a good idea.
. That completely went over my head. I did not make that connection at all. I didn't get a chance to read the info in the tweet. Yeah...let's not do that.
