16. Sacramento Kings (362 total dunks) — Chimezie Metu: 63 dunks

Seeing Chimezie Metu on this list was probably not something that you anticipated. Metu’s 63 dunks barely beat out Richaun Holmes’ 62 slams, but it should be noted that Metu played in 15 more games than Holmes.

A startling 41 percent of Metu’s field goal attempts this season were 3-point attempts, which is a high number for somebody who led his team in total dunks. Zach LaVine is the only other team dunk-leader close at all. (LaVine was very close to Metu at 40 percent.)

But Metu’s lasting highlight from the 2021-22 season was definitely a 3-pointer, a walk-off at the buzzer at home.
