... Jordan as a potential winner. He's an in-game dunker who puts smaller opponents on posters. Jordan could also come out and surprise the audience as the most impressive big to dunk since Dwight Howard , who won the 2008 competition, but it's unlikely. Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon will compete in the favorites lane as the only experienced Slam Dunk Contest participant. However, he can't recycle the dunks we all saw a year ago. The onus falls on Gordon's creativity and showmanship to provide a spectacular encore presentation. As the only player to compete in the D-league and the Slam Dunk Contest within the same year, Phoenix Suns forward Derrick Jones Jr. could take it a step further into the limelight and win the contest. He's not dealing with a regular-season burnout or overexposure to his dunking style. Take Jones as the underdog over Gordon. The ...
