During Tuesday night's game between the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets, Jazz rookie guard Donovan Mitchell showed off his insane athleticism in the fourth quarter when he threw down a one-handed tomahawk slam on Nuggets guard Will Barton.
A video of the incredible play, which was posted on Bleacher Report's official Twitter account on Tuesday night, can be viewed below.

Those are some serious hops, especially for someone who stands only 6-foot-3. On the night, Donovan Mitchell finished with 13 points on 5-of-10 shots from the field, six assists, and three rebounds in 33 minutes of action.
Mitchell, who was the No. 13 overall pick of the 2017 draft out of the University of Louisville, ironically by the Nuggets, is second among NBA rookies in scoring with 18.0 points per game heading into Tuesday night's contest.
Unfortunately for the Jazz, Tuesday night's game at the Pepsi Center was quite the struggle on offense as Utah shot just 32.1 percent from the field in their 107-83 loss to Denver.
