So do they add the first initial to both jerseys? Or do they just rely on solely different numbers. How does it work

Do we get extra cap space for that?

I'm trying to remember what the Pacers did when they had George Hill, Solomon Hill, and Jordan Hill.  I could have sworn they put the first initial before the last name.



Not according to this picture... but I'm guessing this picture was taken before the season started.

The Celtics had three Smiths on their 1990-91 roster - Charles, Derek and Michael.  Thank God they put C. Smith, D. Smith and M. Smith on the back of their jerseys. If they didn't do that, I would've gotten the three of them mixed up with each other the whole season. Whoever came up with the first name initial before the last name Smith was a total genius!

What did the Morris twins do in Phoenix? With them, just a first initial (or even first 3!) wouldn't be enough

Fun Fact:

Back in 1949-50, the Tri-Cities Blackhawks had two identical twin players with the last name Otten (Don and Mac). Everyone was like what are we going to do they have the same last name??? Someone mentioned, "Hey why don't we distinguish them by their jersey numbers!"

Yes, Robert is Time Lord, and Grant's mother works for NASA.

Together they are the TIME SPACE CONTINUUM.

Tommy point for the old school reference!  I liked Derek Smith.  He was a tough guy that unfortunately passed away young.

I don't think you can mistake which Williams is which.
R is 6'11
G is 6'7
T is 5'11
