Every NBA team’s most prolific dunker from the 2021-22 season
By Luke Anton
7. Washington Wizards (408 total dunks) — Daniel Gafford: 158 dunks
Daniel Gafford more than doubled his previous most dunks in a season (71 last year), and his 158 dunks were sixth-most in the NBA and 17 more than the previous two Wizards team-leaders combined (Alex Len’s 74 in 2020-21 and Thomas Bryant’s 67 in 2019-20).
Who else was doing all the dunking for the Wizards to get them into the top-10? Well, before he was traded at the deadline, it was Montrezl Harrell, who dunked the ball 101 times in 46 games for the Wiz. Gafford and Harrell’s 259 combined dunks still finished as the fourth-highest combo between two players on one team.
But it was actually Kyle Kuzma who had the best Wizards power dunk of the 2021-22 season, dunking right through Joel Embiid on MLK Day. (Kuzma’s reaction is priceless.)
