Nicknames for the New Guys - 2022-23 Edition

The other day I was talking with my friend and didn't remember Kesslers name (I am real crap with names, I have trouble remembering the names of my kids), so I just called him "Tex". Without blinking his eyes my friend knew who I was talking about.

Tex works for me. I Think that could stick

Simone Fontecchio - fettuchini
Walker Kessler - The great divide
Lauri Markkanen -The marksman
Collin Sexton - hot pants
Kelly Olynyk - Don't cut my hair
Jarred Vanderbilt -I like the name Vando
Talen Horton-Tucker - Condor or TNT (play on THT)
Malik Beasley -

I agree about Vando being fine, if kind of boring. V-8 is pretty good

I can't wait to hear all the incredibly stupid and cringy nicknames Holly and Boller give to the guys over the course of the season.
Problem is Holly tries to come up with a nickname on the spot and than there is awkward silence until Boler Big T remind her the actual nickname of the player. There is just little thought put into it. Its bad.
 
There seems to be as many good bad nicknames for THT as there are actual good nicknames for Vanderbilt
 
Fontecchio's nickname should probably be Money Man given how his first name sounds like money, but I guess we can't because Okur.

I agree Italian Stallion is pretty generic, but there arent any notable Italian NBA players so it works overall.

The dude is pretty tan, so maybe The Bronze Bomber?

Walker Kessler could be RimWalker. Sounds kind of sexual but is kind of like Skywalker.

Young Bull a bad nickname IMO. So is The Finnisher.

THT is a bad nickname too, but it's smooth to say.

I prefer Vando for Vanderbilt.
 
Walker Kessler is a funny kid. He joked that he was a handsome guy, so we could call him GQ.

Yeah the big problem there is we don't have anyone who has the artistry of Hot Rod when it comes to nicknames. He was the master.
 
I don’t know try these:
Beasley - Beasty Boy
Markkanen - Marky Mark
THT - The Reverend Horton Heat shortened to the Reverend
Olynyk - K.O. , Wild Thing or Brigham Young
Kessler - Texas Ranger, The Kessler Effect
(I’m cool with Young Bull for Sexton and V8 for Vanderbilt)
