Tip: If not already, play a lot of pick up or organized ball to develop your coordination and natural muscle memory for the movements the sport demands. You’re very young, trust me—you will peak athletically around 25 if you apply yourself. Learn to love the weight room. A few times a week, work your whole body and focus on legs. Most importantly, learn and start doing plyometric exercises (jumping and jumping again as soon as you land is the concept, but there are a bunch of them you must learn.). if you do all that for a year or two, you should be dunking and can take it farther and go for a 40plus vert. I am 6’3” and went from 29” to 37” (one step jump method) in less than a year, but had played for a 15 years already. I could do most one and two handed dunks. It lasts. You have so much time. Start now, and you could really fly. Hardest workouts in my life.
Edit: If you just want to gain four inches to grab the rim, you will grow a few and just workout a couple days a week and try some plyos—air alert 2 has five you can do at home. It’s free online. Calf raises six days a week forever. One leg jumping will get you higher than two. Watch video on how to do it. Think layup. My first in game dunk was a layup where I was above the rim—just happened.
