Kris Bankston is a prolific dunker.

In his last full season in 2018-19, the UALR forward recorded 69 slams, which made up 63% of his 109 field goals.

Bankston's attacks on unassuming rims are loud and aggressive, the kind that can bring a crowd to its feet and swing the momentum of a game inside the Jack Stephens Center.

Baskets across the Sun Belt got a reprieve when the redshirt junior suffered a season-ending lower back injury in November 2019.

He first felt discomfort during a practice early last season. The aches eventually morphed into a pain he could no longer play through.
