2. Who on the Charlotte Hornets would win a dunk contest?

Jerry Stephens:

I think that Jeremy Lamb would win a dunk contest on the Charlotte Hornets. I think that he is the most athletic player on the team and would offer up the best dunks. The Hornets aren’t a team that has many wildly athletic players that can create some amazing dunks but Lamb seems like an uber athletic player who could have the creativity to win a dunk contest.

DeShawn White:

This competition would definitely be won by Jeremy Lamb. The only people who I could think that would be included would be MKG, who’s hurt,  and maybe P.J. Hairston. Lamb would have the advantage of length and athleticism while Hairston and MKG would probably have the power dunks. Lamb wins with ease.

Connor Penegar:

I’ll go against the grain with who I think would win the team dunk contest. I believe that PJ Hairston has the best chance out of everyone to take it home. PJ is the perfect size for a good dunk contest participant. He’s about 6-6, which is perfect dunking height. Although Jeremy Lamb would be hard to beat, I think that PJ could pull it out in an upset. PJ might have some tricks up his sleeves from when he was practicing in the D-League.
