Five Best Dunkers in NBA 2K22

Many players can throw down dunks regularly in NBA 2K22, but only a few have strong dunk ratings. With that said, here's a look at the five best dunkers in NBA 2K22, in descending order.

Zion Williamson

Pelicans Forward Zion Williamson is crowned as the best dunker in NBA 2K22. Zion takes the top spot due to his efficiency dunking and his ability to take one step and explode towards the rim for a dunk. In NBA 2K22, Williamson has a standing dunk rating of 95 and a driving dunk rating of 97, combined with a vertical rating of 99, making him arguably the best dunker in the game. Of course, if you want to use him in MyTeam, you need to spend a lot of NBA 2K22 MT points. Luckily, U4GM is a great place to get MT coins, and it's cheap, safe, and fast!

Zach LaVine

Chicago Bulls' top scorer Zach Lavine is a lethal scorer all over the court, but he is an elite dunker at the rim. His thunderous rim racks are a sight to behold, and he won the historic 2016 Slam Dunk Contest against Aaron Gordon. Built as a Scoring Machine archetype in 2K22, LaVine can score from anywhere on the court. He has the ball-handling skills and speed to beat his defender and get to the rim with ease.

Aaron Gordon

Nuggets Forward Aaron Gordon is perhaps one of the most skilled dunkers in the NBA. Gordon uses his height and athleticism to pull off dunks that have never been seen before. He has more perfect-score dunks in the competition than any other participant in its history. His dunk-related states are top-notch — he's got a 95 standing and driving dunk rating and a 92 vertical rating.

Derrick Jones Jr.

Derrick Jones Jr. has been one of the best dunking players. Although he hasn't broken out at the NBA level yet, his per-36-minute stats see him averaging 12 points, six rebounds, and almost two blocks per game. An Athletic Finisher archetype player, Jones has a 94 driving dunk rating, 93 vertical ratings, and 90 hands rating, making him an excellent target for alley-oop passes.

Ja Morant

Ja Morant is one of the rare dunking point guards in the league. He's a minor point guard, but he can dunk over more significant players. Combine his 92 ball-handle rating with a 94 driving-dunk rating and a speed rating of 92 — he'll throw down a dunk and be back on defense before his defender realizes what happened, which makes him a matchup nightmare for most point guards.

Having a high-flyer with the ability to perform elite dunks can give your team a considerable advantage. Who would you pick for your team? Or do you have other ideas about our ranking? Please list your suggestions in the comment section below.
