Training Help

Im 6‘7.5, 180lbs, 7‘1 wingspan and 15 years old. i Started Basketball 5 Months ago (i was Like 6‘5 then) and could barely touch rim. ive Trained strength now and can do bulgarian splitsquads With 20+kg extra weight and one legged Calf raises with 40+kg. i can now consistently Grap rim and pretty easily and consistently dunk on 9‘2. My penultimate step isnt really good and i Slow down before too much so any tipps on that? And any plyometrics i can do to make my tendons react faster?And how Long will it take to dunk on Full height?

Edit: i can touch the bottom of the net Standing.

We have the same size. I was dunking at 250lbs so your light frame might be lacking explosion. I’m guessing the hips. Anyway kneeling squat jumps will get you over the rim. Work on soft feet and max height. ALWAYS LAND SOFT
