He's what we used to call a 'Traffic Jammer' back in the day. His dunks look great when he's in traffic but put him in an open court situation and, while still impressive, not as awe inspiring
At this point Drew is the only dunker in the second round to have 52% of the vote. I've started voting every day. It's easy. I know Smith isn't the most popular guy on here, but the dude can certainly throw it down. Frankly, with his body of work over 4 years, IMHO he shouldn't need to go through this tourney. There will no doubt be at least a couple of guys invited to the main event who aren't as good as him. If he makes the final he has a couple of go-to dunks which are sure to grade high.

Snap Peters should win this contest hands down ...

He was the best HS player in Houston a few years ago but academics kept him from the big time. I wouldn't be shocked to see him in the NBA in a couple of years.
For the record, I have voted several times for Drew.

Andrew made it through to the semis. Right now he is trailing his opponent, Davene Carter from Tarleton State, 47% to 53%.
BTW Sly, Snap Peters is out, so I guess there is no justice.

Obviously Talladega College doesn't have much of a social media presence.

There is NO WAY that that guy SNAP should not have won this thing hands down, he would compete at the NBA dunk contest and win that, his dunks were stupid.

Forbidden's comment notwithstanding, we need one more big push to get Drew to the finals.

It's a popularity contest, not a talent competition.

That was EZ enough to figure out after seeing who made it past the first round of this thing.
