Warriors rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis has proven himself on the court, leading to the shedding of his "Baby T" nickname. The 23-year-old forward secured his first double-double in the NBA during the Golden State Warriors' 132-126 victory against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night at Chase Center.

In a career-high 29 minutes of play, Jackson-Davis showcased his skills, tallying 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting, 13 rebounds, one assist, and an exhilarating block on Celtics star Jaylen Brown. This noteworthy performance prompted Warriors veteran Klay Thompson to announce a new moniker for the rookie.

"Klay announced it right when we got in the locker room," Jackson-Davis revealed to reporters. "I think I'm Trayce Jr. now."

Thompson, who wasted no time in bestowing the new nickname, explained why it was fitting for the young player. Jackson-Davis' size, athleticism, and shot-blocking abilities provide the Warriors with a much-needed asset on the court. Despite his impressive skills, Thompson felt that Jackson-Davis should still carry the "junior" distinction.

"[Jackson-Davis is] a vertical spacer, a shot-blocking presence, and a big, strong, physical big man who is incredibly athletic. Trayce Jr., very athletic," Thompson confirmed during his interaction with the media. "That is his new nickname, correct, because I only know one Trayce in my life, and that's Trayce Thompson. MLB player, father to Roman."

The rookie's recent performances have caught the attention of Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr, who has gradually increased Jackson-Davis' minutes. The young forward's contribution to the team has been evident, providing a missing element in terms of size and athleticism.

With his first double-double achievement and the recognition from his teammates, Jackson-Davis is gaining confidence and showcasing that he belongs in the NBA. As the Warriors' season progresses, fans can expect to see more impressive performances from Trayce Jr. and witness his impact on the court.

Trayce Jackson-Davis' journey from "Baby T" to Trayce Jr. is a testament to his dedication and growth in the NBA, and it is undoubtedly a nickname that he will carry with pride as he continues to make a name for himself in the league.
