If that's what nearly 20% of your offense gets you (and I know others including KZ also registered a lot of dunks), you're not going to win a lot of games. Without looking at the denominator, I don't think the numerator tells you much, and the fact that we're #2 in dunk share and ended <.500 on the season pretty much tells you that.
We're talking 15% of our 2-point offense coming from dunks. Sharma had 39% of our dunks, 62/158. (KZ was next with 22.) 2pt FG% was ~60th in the country, IIRC.
This is more of a point of clarification. Our 3pt FG% and free throw % - both not factored into the chart - were both worse than 300th in the country (out of 351 teams); were they even average, we'd be in the postseason.
Unrelated, but interestingly, we led the country in 3 PT FG's attempted against, i.e. our opponents' total 3pt FG's taken against us was the lowest total across the country.
