Strategically, a player is going to dunk whenever possible because it maximizes the chances for two two points. Going up strong in traffic prevents blocks and draws fouls.
A player with a high volume of dunks is likely dunking in traffic more frequently than others.
A lot of clarity can be given when separating these by position. We can really see who the over and underrated players are. Players who play closer to the basket will generate more dunk opportunities, so comparing the numbers of centers to the numbers of guards is not very effective.
The data is a bit overwhelming to look at as a whole, but you can notice patterns here and there. Ultimately this data will be very effective at establishing "dunk tiers".

More analysis will be coming later but I wanted to get this information out, especially with NBA 2K15 releasing tomorrow.
Taking a break as I spent most of the afternoon and night putting this list together.
Will also be following up with a 2K15 Dunk rating list to see how much has changed over the past few months.

Contrary to what NBA 2K might have you believe, cross over dunks in traffic with point guards are far and few between. With few exceptions, PGs seldom dunk, even on the break. Only 5 PGs receiving regular minutes recorded a 2% dunk rate.
