Is Jalen Johnson the best player in the NBA that has to go by his full name?

It pisses me off that everytime that I want to mention him, I have to type out or say his full name. He’s not a big enough name to go by JJ, & that’s already occupied by JJ Redick who’s more popular. There’s too many Jalen’s and too many Johnson’s to call him either one of those. What’s the solution? Do we come up with a nickname for him?

Am I alone in feeling this way?

Honorable Mentions: Jarrett Allen, Trey Murphy but even those two players I think we can get away with calling them by their last names.
