If you guys could only see the dunk contest that took place during warmups before Summer League games. Aaron Gordon was throwing lobs off the wall behind the basket. Mario Hezonja had his big in-game dunks. And we all saw what Victor Oladipo could do in the actual Slam Dunk Contest (no one was beating Zach LaVine).

And then we saw what he could do behind closed doors a bit.

Yes, these guys could put on quite a dunk show.

Will they all be in the Dunk Contest? No. The NBA is not going to like that unless it becomes super obvious two should be in there.

Gordon is likely going to be at All-Star Weekend anyway for the Rookie-Sophomore challenge, so maybe pencil him in for the trip to Toronto. Then again Victor Oladipo is probably hoping to take the step up to the big game on Sunday for the first time. And Hezonja should be there too.

There are good options.

I would put my money on Gordon as the best dunker on the Magic. At least for a dunk contest.

If he is healthy, I think he would be the chosen Magic representative. But there should be some epic dunk contests in the Magic practice facility that we cannot even see.
