(keep it positive)

The Unathletes? The Scrappy Overachievers? The Fighting Ecksteins?

[BlueintheFace]

The Fighting Ecksteins?

hahahhaha

S Club 3 and the Brothers Plumlee (Disney Band Reference and it rhymes)

[Welcome2DaSlopes]

The DUKIESSS

[hood7]

Clumsy Weak Lumbering Spazzes?

[airowe]

Showtime and the Saltinesss

[BlueintheFace]

Phi Slamma Layup

[theAlaskanBear]

I will go on record as saying nicknames are overblown, and stupid when forced simply for the sake of having a nickname.

BUT: if its going to be insisted...drop the S's. Lets play with the number 3.

Triple threat? (cool because all can hit the 3, they can also slash, shoot, and score, and they are the three leading scorers)

Or to take it mythological: Chimaera, the three headed monster. The lion can be Singler, the snake can be Smith, and the goat Scheyer.

I only kid :D

[airowe]

the goat Scheyer.

I only kid :D

You mean the Greatest Of All Time?

Scheyer, Smith, and Singler are Scintillating, Super, Spectacular! (it's going to be said at least once this year)

[crimsondevil]

Cerberus, the three headed dog of Hades? Could even spell even spell with an "S"- Serberus. Appropriately nerdy for Duke at least.

[Hancock 4 Duke]

Showtime (Nolan), Swagga (Kyle Singler for his Finesse), and THE SCREAM (for Scheyer)

[Heelkiller1]

Future National Champions has a good ring to it .:D

[Greg_Newton]

Nolan is obviously the fire to Scheyer's Ice... but what is Kyle in this metaphor? Hmmmmmmmm...

[Heelkiller1]

Nolan is obviously the fire to Scheyer's Ice... but what is Kyle in this metaphor? Hmmmmmmmm...

[jesus_hurley]

How about:
The Plumlee experience featuring Smitty, Singler and Scheyer

[BlueintheFace]

Nolan is obviously the fire to Scheyer's Ice... but what is Kyle in this metaphor? Hmmmmmmmm...

Miles and Mason could be the Smash Brothers

[Highlander]

Triple Trouble (http://s0.ilike.com/play#Beastie+Boys:Triple+Trouble:57415:s768315.964 2260.8198907.0.2.133%2Cstd_71ae9811c2ee4dc7a3c6846 123d7f178) - a la the Beasties. Another famous threesome of unathletic guys.

[Heelkiller1]

The Goonies . A bunch of unathletic guys ,who in the end came out on top .

[NSDukeFan]

Indeed I was...

I also will suggest;

Showtime Smith and the White Lightning

The Family Trees and the One through Three

[mgtr]

In keeping with the Duke image, how about Phi Beta Slamma?

He needs to come back so we can call him "THE WIG" for a year.

[DevilWearsPrada]

"The Wig", made me giggle!! Kyle is so athletic!!! Oh, I'm sorry, the sports reporters refer to Duke Mens Basketball team as unathletic. My bad. Well, these "unathletic" young men are left standing in Indianapolis with the NCAA National Championship title, trophy & banner!!! I presume, unathleticism pays off!!! Playing SMART Duke basketball wins National Championships!!!! I personally think this is a very athletic and smart team, and one that was fun to watch all season long!!!

[DevilWearsPrada]

in keeping with the duke image, how about phi beta slamma?

love it!!!!
