Practice Dunker
You probably saw Nick Young dole out a fitted hat to Andrew Bogut last night (as well as Bogut stuffing Young on another attempted crowning). Earlier this year the Wizards were campaigning to get Nick into the All-Star Weekend dunk contest, but after a while the rookie’s rumored exploits in practice turned into a source of ridicule rather than praise; after last night’s game Nick said he was tired of Brendan Haywood calling him a “practice dunker.” If Young puts together a better in-game resume for next year, he should get in. Then we can see if he’ll do THIS.

You need to average double digit points to earn a nickname.
