Yes you can at 5'8 if you can grab a 10 foot rin then yes you will be able to dunk. Just keep doing what your doing. I'm 15 and 6 feet and I just learned to touch the rim (But I just started working out about 3 months ago) But just keep trying and you'll get there. Do sqauts and Calf rises.

i'm 5 ft 5 and would truthfully touch the rim with 2 palms. One, prepare the nicely suited set of muscle for leaping. 2, at 6"3, perfect weight must be around 80 5-90kg. 3, did you totally use your larger physique potential to swing you upward? 4, are you guy or woman who're very sporty in view that youthful, if no longer, you're no longer genetically athlete.

You're only 14 and should get a decent growth spurt before you stop growing. In the meantime. Work out with your legs and calves. Do leg curls, squats and leg presses. Be careful start off with a trainer if possible, you could hurt yourself lifting wrong at your age.
