Squats, RDLs/deadlifts for strength. Powercleans, box jumps, broad jumps, bounding and other plyos. Also practicing the actual run up/take off with and without a bball
I did this for 6 weeks (as well as lifting) and I gained a couple of inches in my vert. I'm not sure on the exact numbers, but my dunks got a little bit easier.

you might not be able to add 4 inches to your jump since vertical is so dependent on genetics
