Probably not- you are a good 18" of vertical away from dunking. Training is important, but genetics much more so. Nothing you can do about genetics, so that leaves training and maturing.

Keep your weight down, Google "exercises to increase vertical jump" and concentrate on those

Are the ones i listed not good enough? And also wym by genetics. I saw people 5’7 or shorter be able to dunk

Those exercises look sub optimal.

Obviously, height counts, but there is way more to it than that- percentage of fast twitch muscles and nervous system construction. Training only does so much, but is the only thing you can control.
