It's too obvious is what I'm saying.

It doesn't have the element of surprise Topic Thunder and Cling Kong has.

How is "Big Maple" too obvious but "Coach Carter" isnt?

There's nothing about Devin Carter other than his last name that has anything to do with Coach Carter and it would be incredibly corny to call any NBA player, much moreso a rookie, "Coach".

A good nickname takes what is unique about a player and puts it into a fun name that is catchy to say. Big Maple does that.

Yeah but people more or less "expects" someone to come up with 'Big Maple' for him.

It's lacking the element of surprise, the creativity, the 'X-Factor'.

So is this contest about making new nicknames that suck ***?

Because take down Cling Kong because that's not an original name and has been his nickname for a while now.

My original homer pick was Castle. I still love him, but he's getting too high on mocks that it will be difficult to outperform his draft position.

I'll probably go with Carter, but he's now getting mocked top 10. It seems like everyone I like starts getting mocked too high for the Jazz.

The guy I see mocked the lowest who I think could be really good is McCullar. Other guys who I really like include Williams, McCain, Collier, and Jones.

In other words I'm TBD. I don't want to pick a nickname, but also might want to make sure a guy I really like is represented.

Not that anybody cares or that it's a big deal, but I'm having a hard time choosing my homer pick this year. I'm surprised nobody has picked Risacher, and he would go against the idea of picking a guy who gets drafted too low, although I do think he can still exceed expectations since everyone is expecting this draft to be awful. I'm not saying I am going with him, but if I did his nickname should be, Zaccharie "Lock can't pronounce my name" Risacher.

I guess I still have a week to decide.

Yeah I think if he’s projected in the 5-10 range there’d already be 4-5 people picking him.
