D.J. Carton's got hops.
The Buckeye guard signee showed off his high-flying ability on Monday night, winning the dunk contest at the Iowa vs. Illinois High School All-Star game.
Carton scored 99 out of a possible 100 points in the contest, including a perfect 50 on this dunk:

Buckeye fans will get to see that athleticism and explosiveness next season as Carton arrives with fellow highly-touted freshmen Alonzo Gaffney and E.J. Liddell.
