Wait who? Ohh, Swaggy P! Nick Young is the king of NBA nicknames. He’s practically more well known as Swaggy than as his real given name, and he also goes by “Bean Burrito,” “The City,” and a litany of other nicknames. One thing Swaggy isn’t known for? Smart, winning, team basketball, the kind the Warriors play.

But Golden State used most of their little offseason cap flexibility in the summer of 2017 on Nick Young anyway, and he rewarded them with his signature flair, streaky shooting, and occasional goofiness. But he played only 10 minutes a game in the playoffs with a -8 on/off and a horrible off-def rating differential of 96–111. Good thing the Warriors were so stacked it didn’t even matter.
