Video evidence that Young can dunk

[rogerkim]

I was watching the game live, but glanced away to take care of my kids for a second and missed it. I saw the comments about it on the thread and, having questioned this before, just wanted to post the evidence that Young can, indeed, dunk the basketball. Mea culpa, Ryan.

Now the question is, of course, why doesn't he do it more often? I think he would convert a lot more of his short shots coming out of his nice low post moves if he would just go up for the dunk, rather than trying to lay it in...

Because a lot of his post moves create space for a reach lay-up but not necessarily a dunk. I think the dunks are only happening when he has inside position and space to gather his jump.

Yes. But can he dunk off of one foot. Even in layup drills I have only seen him dunk off of two feet. Prove us wrong, Ryan.

He should be able to jump higher off of one foot than two.
