    None of these are good.

    Timelord and DB Hopper were the only good ones on last seasons roster.

    I voted for the last option give it time.

    If there some nickname others like I'm open to it I just haven't heard anything good.

    Maybe one comes up with his play during the year. "The Big Pass" or something after he has an epic highlight. Or a Timelord type one when he sleeps in for practice. Or something with translating/learning English, etc.

    Or maybe he never gets one. What was Yao or Roy or LMA or Dame nicknames? If he becomes the real deal he may not need one.

    Fair enough, I do agree with time there will be plenty of opportunities for new nicknames to surface.

    Dame had a few. Remember early in his Career a lot of people were calling him Sub Zero. Dame Time/Lillard time.

    I was about to come here to say that anything that plays off of him being Asian is low hanging fruit and then I read this.

    after having to explain why I was crying and laughing to my kids, I have to rethink how racist I must be.

    When you look up what Yang actually means in Chinese, I think just calling him Yang or even The Yang makes a lot of sense.
