A nickname for Kristaps

I call him Zinger because it has a ring to it but our budding superstar doesn't feel it so I'm going to stop referring to him as Zinger. What do you guys think would be a solid nickname for the kid.

Some suggestions:

1. KP, the kid seems to like this one but it doesn't do it for me.

2. Z, it's short and sweet, great nickname for posting in a BBS rather spelling Porzingis or Kristaps.

3. Phenom, short for phenomenon that's what he is, 7'3" and can do it all.

4. Rook, Melo calls him this and says KMart still calls him rook.
 
Although his name has been hard to crack so far, I have a feeling that at some point a good nickname for Porzingis is going to come out of left field. Most of the options are too generic that no one is going to know to whom you are referring, so something like KP works at least as shorthand for posting. If anything, his nickname should be something humble. A flashy title just doesn't seem to suit his personality.

I like Broadway's #kporzee nickname.
When you put a hash tag on it, makes it sound social media like. I may go with #kp instead of typing out the whole #kporzee when I post but I do like the Latvian Assassin so far. Zin Master play on words of Zen Master, PJ would vote for that one.

I love that but we need something that CYLDE can use...I hate the neophyte designation he uses for rookies. Would he have called SHAQ a neophyte. NOW is using LATVIAN politically correct. LOL
Clyde: The 7'3" KP

Well, it does rhyme.

I hashtag it because that's exactly where I got his name from. It's his Twitter handler @kporzee. #ing instead of @ing just makes it official his name is of the most popular sort to be discussed. Notice I don't hashtag any other player on this team but him.

To be honest I kind of like #Taps too. I may start using this and alternating it with #kporzee

A nick name? not yet.
I like KP running inside to grab rebounds over opponents, i like KP long arms in the paint blocking shots ..
What I don't like is KP consistent 31% shooting every night, plus never getting 1 assist per game
KP shot above 50% in 4 games out of 15 games, we all are saying he's a rookie and will get better with time.
I doubt it bc Melo has only shot above 50% in 2 games out of 15 games
