I spent a good chunk of time watching, re-watching and analyzing this dunk. I could not decide whether or not the following dunk was POSTERIZED-worthy.
Sure, it's a good dunk.
Is it a spectacular dunk?
No, it is most certainly not.
But then I remembered that Deville Smith is only 5-foot-11 AND right-handed.
Yeah, that's kinda impressive.
I'm 6-foot-3 and at my athletic peak, struggled to dunk a full-sized basketball with my strong hand. But then again, that's probably why Smith is playing for a top-25 D-1 team, and I, well, write about it.
But poor Deniz Kilicli. This is his third appearance on #POSTERIZED this year, and he's been on the receiving end twice.
