NBA All-Star Weekend is here, with the Slam Dunk Contest closing out Saturday's skills competition.
Mac McClung, who rode off into the sunset last year with a dunk contest three-peat, won't be participating in this rendition. Los Angeles' Jaxson Hayes is tied atop the odds board with high-flying San Antonio Spurs rookie Carter Bryant.

All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest roster
Fans itching for star power in the dunk contest will have to wait another year (or perhaps 10, the way things are going).
The participants are combining to average 18.3 PPG — but that doesn't mean they can't throw down.
Bryant was selected 14th overall by the Spurs last year despite only starting five collegiate games with the Arizona Wildcats. San Antonio loved his skill set, which is anchored by incredible raw athletic ability.

Hayes, at 7 feet, is the tallest of the competitors. With a 34.5-inch vertical, we might be seeing Dwight Howard-lite on the court.

Keshad Johnson is another role player with big hops. The 6-foot-6 guard was explosive at Arizona, and he made some noise in the Summer League:

Finally, there is Jase Richardson Jr., son of two-time dunk contest champion (2002-2003), Jason Richardson.
The Orlando Magic rookie has highlights in his blood and was throwing down these types of dunks as a freshman at Michigan State:
