1. J.P. Tokoto, North Carolina: As a high school senior, Tokoto earned a reputation as a great dunker by sticking an in-game 360 slam and winning several all-star-game dunk competitions. The versatile wing has validated that hype since arriving at North Carolina, producing highlights in transition, via lobs and just by fearlessly attacking the rim. (Yahoo! Sports)
