Walker Kessler Nickname

[KGdaBom]

Are you saying you don’t like ‘The Rollator’? I dunno, I thought it was pretty clever : )

What was your position on historical shot blocker Hasheem Thabeet? I’m on record of being 100% against Thabeet before that draft.

It's clever for a person who hates the Wolves, doesn't care about reality, and wants to troll us. I don't give a rats ass about Hasheem Thabeet.

I didn’t realize that in order to be a Timberwolves fan you have to subscribe to whatever decision they make.

You don't, but if you're a jerk on the message boards you seem more like a troll than a fan. The vast majority of those who've seen him play consider his lateral mobility to be a strength. You present him as a senior citizen in need of a walker.

SkyWalker?

NAH, NOT HAPPENING !!!

SkyWalker would be good, but it's been done to death before.

I would go with Skywalker on Star Wars night. I can imagine an end of game throwaway squad with Skywalker, Obi-Wan Okogie, the Vandolorian, and Bolmaro whose chosen nickname is Lea. Just need one more and Star Wars night lineup is a go.

Yessir Kessler might also have been a thing if Benz was around.

As a massive Star Wars fan (yes, I'm an aboriginal nerd... strange I know) I'd love to hear the Star Wars line up called by the announcer!

Step 1, come up with a good Star Wars nickname for the fifth player on that lineup.
Step 2, hit up Jim Pete on Twitter and ask him to mention it in honor of Benz.
Step 3, enjoy a massive nerd gasm if it happens

Assuming of course we keep JO.

If he does well his rookie year then he might get his own boot line. The commercial could use the song “these boots are made for” but change walking to Walker.

Shaka Zulu has informed me that Blocker Kessler was his college nickname. That doesn't mean it has to be his pro nickname, but I like the continuity.

Not the blocker kessler one, but the walker kessler ranger one. Read it in a article day after the draft.

Klomp the more sheet we throw against the wall the better chance of something sticking.

People that disagree with you are: racist, not wolves fans, trolls, and jerks. Got it.

If you don't see your comments as trolling Wolves fans than you have no perception. It's OK to disagree, but when you say big white guy before posting negative stereotypical assumptions about a player we just drafted it sure sounds racist. Isn't that kind of jerk behavior?

Now we have another falsity- ‘negative stereotypical assumptions’. You’re on a roll.

Can't jump, no lateral mobility/quickness. Those are stereotypical weaknesses of the White NBA player. I'm going to let this go now. Do I think you are truly a racist. No I don't. Do I think you were in a bad mood and just started posting negative crap about our draft pick? Yes I do.

Well I guess it’s unfortunate that a 7’1” skinny guy we drafted, who has 15% body fat, and declined to test strength and agility at the combine (wonder why?) has some of the same weaknesses that you believe are ‘stereotypical weaknesses of the White NBA player’

How does a skinny guy have almost 15% body fat. That is so strange. Maybe he isn't as skinny as some think. Kessler doesn't have those stereotypical weaknesses at least not the quickness/mobility one. I've watched him play. I'll reserve judgment on the jumping ability, but it looked pretty decent to me when I saw him blocking all the shots and making all the dunks. Wouldn't you think mobility and quickness are important traits for being a great shot blocker?
