Mystery Tree: Paw Paw?

Hi guys,

This little tree popped up in the garden several years ago. I've been keeping it in a pot for the last couple of years, upping the size every now and then, all the while not knowing what it is. I'm hoping that it might be a paw paw tree, although I have no idea how it would have ended up in my garden. The leaves give off a terrible odor when handled, hard to describe, kind of metallic. The leaves are 2-3 inches in length, and it's about 3 feet tall at this point. It has yet to flower. Please see the pictures I have linked below.

Thanks!
