Videos: Top 10 dunks of the summer

As the final NCAA-approved live period of July wound down Sunday, so did the 2014 spring/summer club circuit for all intents and purposes.

Events like the FIBA U17 World Championship and adidas Nations will keep basketball junkies entertained for the next couple of weeks, but things won't quite be the same until the high school season cranks up again in November.

In an effort to curb the hoops withdrawal, here's our look at the top 10 dunks of the summer. The only stipulation here is that the highlight has to be from an actual game, which means you won't be seeing this...





10. Parker goes up and up and up



Factoring in pre-game (as shown above), dunk contests and in-game exploits, Kwe'Shaun Parker of the Carolina Diamonds and Wesleyan Christian Academy (High Point, N.C.) was undoubtedly the dunker of the summer. Here he shows off his vertical to go up and get two. (Video via The Hoops Column)

9. Getting sick Whitt it



Jimmy Whitt of KC Run GMC and Hickman (Columbia, Mo.) solidified his standing as one of the top guards in the 2015 class on the Under Armour circuit. Big players make big plays, and here Whitt delivers two of them in the span of 30 seconds. (NextUpRecruits)

8. Jackson makes it look easy





Not many high school players would have the nerve to try this in a game. Then again, not many players are Joshua Jackson, who is regarded as the top prospect in the Class of 2016 by some media outlets. (NextUpRecruits)

7. Morrow makes a splash



Nothing too special here, except for the fact that Morrow is in the SIXTH GRADE. The Ohio native had 53 points in the same game. (CityLeagueHoopsTV)

6. Step aside for Tucker



Rayjon Tucker of Team Charlotte and Northside Christian Academy (Charlotte, N.C.) was busy making highlights all summer. Watch here as a defender makes the best decision of his life and steps out of harm's way. (EliteMixtapes)

5. Beasley makes poster

4. Sanders smashes off backboard



Corey Sanders of the Showtime Ballers and Kathleen (Lakeland, Fla.) participated in the Jordan Brand First to Fly dunk contest in Las Vegas last weekend. It's easy to see why he earned an invite here. (NextUpRecruits)

3. Tucker powers it home



Tucker makes his second appearance with this spectacular yet functional crush job. Not just a dunker, Tucker is a winner. He helped Northside Christian Academy win a state title in 2013-14 and had a big summer for Team Charlotte. (The Hoops Column)

2. Harris finishes double alley-oop





Bonus points to Jordan Harris, a highly recruited 2016 guard from Seminole County (Donalsonville, Ga.), for providing the intro to his own dunk. (NextUpRecruits)

1. Blakeney gets crowd buzzing



Antonio Blakeney of E1T1 and Oak Ridge (Orlando, Fla.) is regarded as one of the top scoring guards in the country. The video was teased as the dunk of the year and we don't disagree. If dunks were measured by the number of onlookers who wind up celebrating on the court (and they should be), Blakeney's blast is a big winner. (EliteMixtapes)

... And for next summer
