The Celtics are averaging 3.3 dunks per game this season, ahead of last year's pace that saw them average 3.0 dunks per contest. Last year, Garnett topped the dunk leaderboard (60) with Shaquille O'Neal (42) and Pierce (37) rounding out the top three.
With midseason nearing, is Bass the odds-on favorite to win this year's crown? Does Wilcox's recent emergence -- and chemistry with Rajon Rondo make him the sleeper to top the category? Sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
