What should every Raptors’ nickname be?

NBA nicknames are a hit or miss proposition, and the really genuinely super cool nicknames like The Dream, The Human Highlight Film, The Round Mound of Rebound don’t really exist anymore. The fact that DeMarre Carroll is called Junkyard Dog 2.0 as if he’s a continuation of Jerome Williams just makes no sense to me. We have to stop being so lazy about nicknames.

Having said that, the easiest way to assign a great nickname to anyone is simply putting the word Yung in front of it. I might have to work on an actual nickname generator but here’s a non-comprehensive list of nicknames for Raptors players, coaches and management that you can feel free to run with:

Kyle Lowry - Yung Franchise

DeMar DeRozan - Yung Mid-Range

DeMarre Carroll - Yung Asterisk

Cory Joseph - Yung Maple Syrup

Patrick Patterson - Yung Cineplex

Terrence Ross - Yung Beautiful Dark Fantasy

Delon Wright - Yung Kid Brother

Jakob Poeltl - Yung 95% Blake Griffin clone

Lucas Nogueira - Yung BlockPartyNextDoor

Bruno Caboclo - Yung Two Years Away

Masai Ujiri - Yung Blackberry, Yung Two Draft Picks For Andrea Bargnani
