Well let's do it mathematically. there is 120 inches in ten feet. 5'8''=68 inches then add ur 18'' of running vert 68+18=86 120-86=34'' Now that would give u a 52'' vertical. Highly unlikey but it is likely that you should hopefully grow to a good 6'1''. that's 5 more inches cuz ur only 15. that makes it 47'' it's been done before.

Let's 4get that math. I'm 6'3'' with a 26'' vert and can get my wrist on the rim evertime and dunk off an alley oop.

So finally I would say if you got to 6' or 6'1'' in the next yr. you would need about 10-12 more inches of vert to dunk and that is highly reasonable with proper training, nutrition, and desire. Hope that helped

81'' 120''=a 10 ft. rim. 120''-81''=39''. so take ur current vert and minus it from 39'' and then u will get how many more inches u will need to dunk a basketball on a regulation ten ft. rim!!
