Jayson Tatum is a beast.

A five-star prospect, Tatum is the No. 1-ranked small forward in the nation, and the top player in his region, in the class of 2016, according to ESPN.

He appears to be impressing the crowds with his performance for the United States team at the FIBA U19 World Championship in Crete, Greece.

In Saturday's match against Greece, Tatum threw down a monster one-handed jam that put Greek big man Thomas Kottas on a poster and left him with a bloody nose.
