As least spell Shaedon Sharpes name right, this is a dumb poll. As long as he’s in the league everyone else can pack that **** up. Go watch the reel. It’s undisputed
I typed “Shaedon” and my phone said “nah, you meant Sheldon.” That alone should disqualify him.

Edwards and then Morant. Not sure why Luka is an option though.

Ant is the best in-game dunker. Dunk contest is a different question. Ant said in an interview that he doesn't have tricks or creativity in a dunk contest.

I just watched a 10 minute highlight reel of Sharpe's dunks. Very impressive. He seems to get up higher on the regular than any guy in the league and I'd say he's the best lob dunker out there at the moment. He cocks that right arm back when he throws it down.
But Sharpe also almost always throws down his best dunks with a runway - catching a lob, coming in for a putback, in transition or after a turnover.
Edwards is exciting as he's the often ball handler, goes this way, that way, gets past his man, absorbs contact from him as he gets into the lane (and often from another perimeter defender), changes angles, and then somehow explodes up out of traffic to dunk over the rim help with two hands. His ability to bring that power while absorbing contact and without a straight runway is amazing.
So wouldn't say that it's undisputed. Shaedon is an amazing dunker when he gets his runway, but Ant's ability to get up and throwdown hard through contact is pretty amazing. I'd take Sharpe in a dunk contest, but I get more pumped for Edwards' dunks in game.

It was Morant pre-injury/gungate, now ANT.
