Name That Team!

We were a bit surprised to find out that Austin's NBA Development League franchise team does not have an official name yet. The team is only four months away from their Nov. 25th season-opening game and still no name!

The president of the team said they have an idea for a name, but they haven't made it official yet. The team name will be announced in August, and not a moment too soon because we are getting tired of having to type "Austin's NBA Development League franchise" over and over again. The franchise received hundreds of suggestions for names from fans through online and radio promotions. No word yet if any of those suggestions were actually used for the team name.

We here at Austinist were wondering, what do you think the new name will be, or should be for that matter?
