Ben Simmons may be the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award, but Jayson Tatum has often resembled a veteran on the court, and he’s certainly in the running as well.

Tatum showed that during Sunday’s game against the Hawks, when he perfectly stepped into a passing lane and then used his speed and sick handles to get to the rim.

Not only that, he finished off the play with a bang — in the form of a powerful dunk.

Tatum finished with 19 points on an impressive 8-of-12 shooting performance, with four steals, four rebounds and two assists.
