I'd wager that Smith already picked a name and this is fan service and engagement... Blizzard, Venom, Outlaws, Mammoth, HC, and Yeti are the final 6 right? Color wise, enough difference from the Charlotte Hornets to go with a "bee" logo if they opt for Venom.I believe the latest poll ended 6/20 so a name could have been selected and hasn't been revealed officially.
Could be waiting for logo to be finalized and merch made before announcing
