Height: 66" (with shoes)
Vertical: 42"

I'm guessing he would have to get 6 inches over the rim or so...thoughts?

He'd need a 2-hander b/c i can't imagine his hands are big enough to palm a ball. Also depends on how long his arms are. DMitch was only 5'9 and can dunk, so i bet Trindon can get close.

He probably could if he could palm it. guy who played at my HS was about 5'7 and he could dunk one handed.

I'm 6'3 and had about a 2 year window where I could dunk with a running start, I can't imagine being almost a foot shorter and being able to dunk

Imagine a darker person and you'll see the light.

As did I. When he first got to LSU he was in the rec all the time. Saw him catch a one handed alley hoop.

So that's why they didn't invite you to the combine.

Unless he doesn't have arms he can dunk easily. His height and vertical put the top of his head at 9' and that's jumping straight up. He's going higher on the move so I'd say he can probably throw it down in several different ways.

Stringer, who's maybe 5'8" coming in next year can throw down with ease.(check him out on Youtube)I'm guessing TH can do it too.

"Hang time" is important if you're dunking in a game.

Can Trindon hang?

Oh and Im sure it was mention but what blows my mind is TH got 10 reps on bench at the combine and CJ only got 9 soooo.....TH is stronger than CJ?

You dont have to palm the ball to dunk it with one hand. You hold the bottom of the ball and then turn it over and put it in when you get up there. I used to do it on my goal at 8 feet all the time
