#jaylin

they play for the cape doris jays of cape doris state university, the fictional school my furry ocs go to (in the dorian furryverse college and pro sports are co-ed because it's more fun that way)

first up is ricky han, the korean-american butch at starting center. she plays 2 years for the jays before being drafted early in the first round to the charlotte hornets (mostly so she can wear a CLT jersey 🤭), and i made her when i started watching the grizzlies last year so she kinda just plays like zach edey. she's great friends with jaylin and they're still pretty good friends once they're on different teams in the nba. johnny views her as a rival, since they're both butch horses who frequent the same lesbian circles in cape doris, and johnny also hates that ricky actually achieved her hoop dreams (johnny wanted to make it to the nba when she was younger but she really struggles with offense). also fun fact she was my car's fursona before i decided to make her ball

next is jaylin mills, african-american straight guy at starting point guard. he plays a year for the jays before being drafted top 10 to the miami heat, quickly becoming a draft bust due to injury, and getting traded to the utah jazz as a salary dump in his sixth year. i accidentally based him on my beloved ja morant, just as fast but with a little less dunking and a little more injury-prone (if you could believe it). he is notably friends with "izaak"/ayesha ohtani, the cape doris state journal's sports column writer and (during her first three years of college) a closeted trans woman. more about her below

last is ona shilongo, motswana bisexual woman at starting shooting guard. she plays all four years of college before being drafted early in the second round by my memphis grizzlies (💙) and getting traded to the detroit pistons; she comes off the bench for them for a few years before becoming a journeyman player. she wears #3 because of allen iverson, plays like desmond bane, and acts like jaden mcdaniels. she's not super tight with her teammates and mostly keeps to herself, they'll dap each other up before games once they get to the nba but that's it
