Most entertaining? Sure. Best? Idk
No
Must be the off-season…
If he loses 30-40 pounds before the start of this season, then yes.
He’s already made the adjustment to do less dunks and high impact moves to preserve his knees. He hardly dunks in game anymore (there’s rarely enough space for him to do so unless it’s in transition anyway) and instead finishes with crafty layups.
Besides a few throughout his young career, like his 360° dunk vs. PHX in that huge December, 2022 game for the 1 seed, Z really hasn’t had nearly as many iconic dunks (or even dunks in general) as everyone would’ve thought since he’s been in the NBA.
So I’d say he wouldn’t finish anywhere close to “best dunker” by the end of his career. Most of his reputation as a dunker is based on his time in high school and college.
F being the best dunker, them injuries stunting his growth the man wasn’t even playing when they needed him the playoffs
I don’t think he’s even the best dunker on the team
