Why would Akagi rather let Sakuragi dunk than let him dunk?

In fact, dunk is more difficult than layup, which is why many NBA stars use layup more than dunk.

Slam Dunk is a highly realistic cartoon, so it is more based on the actual situation. For basketball players, it is clear that dunk depends on the opponent's defense besides their own physical requirements. In theory, dunk is more difficult than layup, and it is also more harmful to the body. So in the real game, no player can dunk all the time, and more often, he uses layups.

For Sakuragi, his physical fitness is excellent, and the difficulty of dunking seems to be much smaller. But as a beginner, if you dunk rashly, as long as the defender stands in a good position under the basket, he will definitely be fouled and will be sent off soon, so Akagi would rather let him dunk than let him dunk easily.
