What two players won Rookie of the Year in the only season of the Chicago Packers/Zephyrs?

The first year (Packers): Walt Bellamy.

Second year (Zephyrs): Terry Dischinger.

BTW, does this team hold the record for most nicknames? (add Bullets and Wizards)

I can think of only one other franchise that has had two different nicknames while staying in the same city, and that would be the Denver Nuggets (Rockets). Technically, I guess you could include the Ft. Wayne Zollner Pistons -- Ft. Wayne Pistons. If you throw franchise shifts into the mix, I still can't think of any franchise with more than two nicknames. This includes the Rochester/Cincinnati Royals -- Kansas City (-Omaha)/Sacramento Kings, Syracuse Nationals -- Philadelphia 76ers, Buffalo Braves -- San Diego/Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Chaparrals -- San Antonio Spurs and the Tri-Cities Blackhawks -- Milwaukee/St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks.
