Top 5 Dunks From a Great Saturday in College Hoops

Maybe what the NBA needs to do to really draw some interest is into the All-Star Dunk Contest is not up the financial payout, but go for pride; challenge them. Make them want to prove that they are better than someone else--like the latest group of college stars.

If my top 5 dunks from Saturday's slate of college basketball is any indication the NBA could have something in a NCAA vs. NBA style contest. Some of these guys--Nate Austin, Ben McLemore, Markel Brown, Kenny Kadji, and Briante Weber--may be in the NBA next year, but there are plenty of guys that could fill their shoes.

Anyway..here are my top 5 dunks from a great slate of action in college basketball from Saturday:

No. 5: BYU's Nate Austin




No. 4: Kansas's Ben McLemore



No. 3: VCU's Briante Weber



No. 2: Miami's Kenny Kanji



No.1: Oklahoma State's Markel Brown



In all honesty, this list could go any number of ways, but when it comes down to it these guys are a great mixture of power, precision, dominance, and showmanship. The NBA could learn a thing or two, but I guess that's why some of them will be in the NBA next year.
