If Coach P eggs her on, it could happen.
A woman dunking a basketball is neither a necessity nor an invention. Championships have been and will be won without dunking. Players have already dunked for teams that did not win championships.If Ayanna doesn't do it then some other WBB players will.
It's only a matter of time.
Necessity is the mother of invention and some players may think that it can help them beat Scar or another team.
It's likely they will have the same number of dunks: zeroAnyone want to bet Amari dunks as much as more this year than Ayanna?
In the FIBA 3X3 Women's Championships Yanna would dunk in the warmupsOne reason why I think that Ayanna will resort to dunking is because she tended to missed easy bunnies in HS.
If given a choice between missing bunnies and dunking, I think that she'd rather make some dunks.
Also, our last big, Liv, was a dunker and we never won a chip with her so I totally agree I'd rather see her dominate on the boards and be a rebounding machine who also scores in the lane or off the dribble. Rebounding wins chips Dunks wins fan adoration and as a fan, I'll take a championshipA woman dunking a basketball is neither a necessity nor an invention.

450 rebounds and 100 blocked shots per year from a big are much more important than 20 dunks per year. Ayanna’s potential to accomplish those stats are infinitely more important than her potential to dunk.
Is Fran Bellibi more important to her team than Aliyah Boston is to hers?
Reminder: Patterson has NEVER dunked in a game. We have a freshman who has dunked in a number of games and won the McDonalds AA dunk competition - where Patterson failed to make one. SO WHAT? that doesn’t make her a better prospect than Patterson - who has , overall, better offensive skills.
I would guess that she will have about 100 blocked shots to every dunk.In the FIBA 3X3 Women's Championships Yanna would dunk in the warmups
and would rebound, rebound, rebound, ( some of her won missed / contested
"bunnies") and then put it in the hoop or pass out to a teammate. It was very
impressive to watch the opposition try to get a rebound when Yanna had
position..... It made for " powerful" viewing!! So... I think that Yanna will
have 3 times as many blocked shots to every ( possible) dunk. She was
exceptional in her blocks in the USA vs Germany 3X 3 game , if my
memory serves me correctly.... see it on FIBA U 18 Women's 3x3 Basketball
championships, 2021.
I completely disagree with your assertion.Sun, Nike can't sign anyone to NIL deals while they play at the collegiate level as they have national contracts with the schools, sneakers, merchandise etc.
That's what I think. GENO or CD will not let her showboat with dunking. Not in the teams playbook.0
Forget Geno, she would have to deal with CD. Ne, Non, Nem, Não. (Croatian, French, Hungarian, Portuguese)
