Who would be in your starting lineup for the all time greatest Iowa State dunking team?

My lineup would be:

PG: Jamaal Tinsley
SG: Will Clyburn
SF: Rahshon Clark
PF: Marcus Fizer
C: Kelvin Cato

Honorable Mentions:

Bryce DeJean-Jones
Melvin Ejim
Royce White
Barry Stevens
 
I left him off simply because he hasn't really had any in game dunks. That's the same reason BDJ is behind Clyburn, not a large enough sample size yet.
 
I assume Tinsley is there to be setting up the dunks? Fan since mid 90s and that'd be about mine too. Obscure but I remember Brandon Hawkins with some surprising dunks. Stevie Johnson sure finished a lot of plays with dunks but don't know if his style puts him up there. Ejim maybe first team because I bet he simply made more dunks than any of those other players.
 
PG Jake Sullivan
SG Jeff Hornacek
SF Cory Johnson
PF Ross Marsden
C Andrew Skoglund

Honorable Mention: Clayton Vette aka "big Drew Stensland"
 
Jeff Grayer probably does belong on the honorable mentions, but he played the same position as Rahshon Clark, and I firmly believe he is the greatest dunker who ever played for Iowa State.
 
If you are going solely off dunks, I would honestly put Royce at PG. And I think McKay may eventually slide into this lineup.

I made the lineup based on the player's "natural position." While Royce was certainly capable of playing PG, his natural position is PF so I didn't consider him eligible for that position. If not considering "natural position," then I would probably agree with you.
 
Jeff Grayer HAS to be on the list somewhere.

And if you have to put a true PG on your team, I would consider strongly putting Will Blalock on there over Tinsley. I loved watching Stinson throw alley oop dunks to Blalock.
 
Grayer.....

Norman Brown and Donnell Bivens were both outstanding dunkers for Johnny in the early 1990's. Norm had one against Indiana that was among the most athletic I have ever seen in person. Donnell had turned the Knapp Center into his personal dunk contest one year. Neither is best ever at ISU but worth of discussion
