Every NBA team’s most prolific dunker from the 2021-22 season
By Luke Anton
9. Atlanta Hawks (401 total dunks) — Clint Capela: 164 dunks
John Collins had a three-year reign as the most frequent dunker in ATL from 2017-18 to 2019-20, but Clint Capela has taken the baton, leading the Hawks for a second straight season. Capela actually had four dunks fewer this season than last despite playing in 11 more games and having a higher percentage of his field-goal attempts that were dunk attempts. How could that be?
Capela averaged 2.8 fewer field goal attempts, in general, this season, down from 11.0 to 8.2 per game. Capela’s 164 dunks still tied him for the fourth-most in the NBA this season among all players.
