Jesus.... thats eight dudes with total experience less than 15 years. And you guys are worried about losing a late pick ?????


Somebody had to go here...pretty funny though.....of course the easy names already popped into my head....

Evin Booker, Andre Ayton and Osh Jackson. Didn't figure those would go over very well though.

i dont think we need individual nicknames yet but let's start with a team nickname. i dunno if you guys are comic book fans but the obvious one I can think of is:

SUICIDE SQUAD!

and it even works because then Booker can become Deadshot (especially if he remains 50/40/90).

That doesn't sound like a good name for a team doing well. If we would were sticking with a comic book theme I'd go with the Avengers.....Baynes could be he Hulk. Ayton maybe Iron Man. Oubre maybe the Black Panther. Not sure about other names though.

Someone who flies could be Captain America's sidekick...can't remember his name.

Frank Kaminsky can be Falcon for all the arm flapping pump fakes.

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

if you think about it suicide squad fits the name perfectly. in the comics they were made up of guys maligned by everybody else. guardians of the galaxy might similarly work too I guess. avengers would be more for a star studded team which we are not.

Suicide squad works for you reasoning but a name where a team is called a name with suicide in it is probably not a good nickname.

they are also known as Task Force X in the comics, but you can see that is less catchy lol.

Yeah, they are all listed on Basketball Reference. Also Super Dario. Frank is also called Moose. I might like better than Frank the Tank which just makes me think of Old School and Will Ferrell doing beer bongs and streaking down the street. Nickname fit him much better.

Baynes listed nickname is Bangers.

Need one for Ayton though before he by default gets on somehow from the suspension. Bully never worked since that's far from his game and he's more like a teddy bear.

Since he has great hands and is smooth around the basket maybe something along the line of "Hands" or "Smooth"

That one works perfectly for Josh Jackson, if you ask me.
