5) One for fun, with Gerald Green gone, who’s the best dunker on the Suns?
Bourguet: Don’t sleep on Sonny Weems. Eric Bledsoe is a mini-LeBron James and we all know Archie Goodwin can get up (just ask Jonas Valanciunas), but Weems is an incredibly athletic wing who could very easily replace Green as a high-flying fan favorite off the bench.
Schall:
Carry on.
Chasen: Great question. Eric Bledsoe is a freak, Knight has had some great dunks (two of which came against the Suns), Alex Len literally (okay so maybe not literally) inspired the Air Jordan Logo and Archie Goodwin literally (figuratively) killed Jonas Valanciunas, so there are lots of answers.
I’m not going to choose one though, because none of them deserved to be compared to the elite (dunker) that is Gerald Green. The cupcake dunk is one of the most underrated dunks of all time in my opinion, and if you haven’t seen it, you may as well quit reading this article and Google it now.
Taucher: Probably Bledsoe. Len and Chandler are both large and powerful, but Bledsoe being able to posterize people at 6’1″ gives him the edge. He gets putbacks on occasion and he can pull a few fancy moves. There’s just a certain mystique for a point guard who can do that kind of stuff.
Harris: Well probably Jon Leuer….LOL not really. This one is still cloudy for me because right now I would go with Devin Booker, but nobody has ever seen him dunk in an NBA game. However, we all saw his hops in college last year, so I don’t see any reason why he would become worse as a dunker at just 18 years old. Other candidates for best dunker would probably be Archie Goodwin and T.J. Warren.
