One of Toppin’s dunks gained national attention on social media. He rebounded a missed 3-pointer by Jalen Crutcher in the second minute of the second half and dunked it with one hand. The putback slam is one of his specialties.
PUTBACK. SLAM!

Toppin leads the country in dunks. Kansas center Udoka Azubuike, who has 63 dunks, is the only other player with more than 50.
Toppin is on pace to break the UD single-season record of 83 dunks. He set that last year. He's also getting closer to the career record of 177 set by Chris Wright from 2007-11.
