Top 5 Husky dunkers of all-time.

[jimva]

For those old enough to have witnessed, Donyell did a couple of 360 dunks during big eat games ( when big east east great). And I remember Ray's freshman year against Syracuse, he took off from just inside the free throw line ( thought it was a layup) and slammed it down with one hand. To these guys were one and two in my opinion.

Al Lewis - the wizard of the missed dunks

 

[Scrutineer]

I didn't remember we used to have so many great players.........

Dunks were great, but take a look at all the players who could pass. Rudy, Doron and Kevin all made great outlet passes and Sheffer's bounce pass through traffic to Ray for the dunk was classic and not a one off either.

Scott Burrell

If Trob ain't on the list you're doing it wrong.

Edit: looks like multiple people beat me to it

He had a couple of great dunks (see BC game), but I like my five guys better.

Man he dunked with more aggression than most those guys imo.

Scott Burrell

And who can forget (among us older fans) Burrell jumping over a huge guy from Wake Forest at the "Civic Center" in the Big East/ACC Challenge?

That's your opinion, and that's the point of this thread.

Still beg to differ (Sticks, Yell, and Free say hello).

 

[UConnNick]

In the old school category: Art Quimby, Toby Kimball, Bill Corley, John Thomas, Corny Thompson.

Tony Robertson's dunks would come out of nowhere, much like most of Robertson's game. He would be invisible to the point that you would forget he was on the court, and then out of nowhere would come a crazy dunk.

Edmund Saunders would dunk like the rim owed him money.

Lyman Depriest was a good dunker, and I think that is the only way he could score.

 

[UConnNick]

Johnnie Time!

 

[cohenzone]

Tim Coles anyone?

Nice player, but I don’t see him as a dynamic dunker.

 

[cohenzone]

Billy Gray, from, I think, Hillhouse. Was here when Shable was coaching. “Could take a quarter off the top of the backboard.”

Beat me to it.

It wasn’t any old guy he jumped it was first team AA Rodney Rogers.

 

[cohenzone]

Show Rodney some love.

Rudy
Sticks

Still the best dunk I've seen.

 

[Thirty Three]

While Burrell may not have been one of the top 5 UConn dunkers, he absolutely had one of the best dunks in UConn history. I believe it was against Wake Forest, he literally jumped over the defender, spread eagle, and dunked.

Doug Wrenn, if I remember right, jumped over the mascot and dunked during midnight madness.

Pick 3 guys.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

No Caron love?

 

[pepband99]

Quite frankly, I agree with Rudy and Sticks - not so sure about Ray. Dre also, not so much due to creativity but sheer power. Granted, Wrenn and Williams are both on in the what might have been category.

Lol wut? Ray was an all time dunker.

This is bordering on 11:11 levels of stupidity from you. Sad.

Exactly! Anyone that doesn't have Donyell #1 is either a baby or is suffering from memory loss. Sticks, Rudy and Ray are up there as well. Tough call on #5 but, yeah, Burell was wicked athletic.

 

[CL82]

Just love the spacing on those breaks. Basketball done right.

So I'll go with

Donyell
Ray
Lamb
Sticks
Butler

This dunk alone qualifies Butler:
Caron Butler dunks on Andrew Bogut

As I said, not so sure on Ray being the all time dunker. I would have picked Rudy. Doesn’t mean Ray wasn’t an excellent dunker and doesn’t mean he wasn’t the greatest - I am just not sure. For that you call me “stupid”.
I also like Stick’s vertical dunking from a standing position - he was quick and an explosive vertical dunker. Ray and Rudy liked to glide in.
At any rate, you sound like a Casual First Night Fan - so I will defer to you on this all important subject - LOL. And anyone, who prefers a dunker other than Ray is “stupid”. Have fun in your parent’s basement. Chief has bigger issues to follow.

 

[Chief00]

Re-watch the recently posted Ray mix. Even if you don't change your mind, you'll still love it.

I responded to another poster who had similar thoughts - at least you did not call me “stupid” for saying “I am not sure” if Ray was the best UConn dunker ever.
