Jahlil Okafor will not be posterized

Watch: Jahlil Okafor forcefully rejects dunk attempt during SI Now interview

Jahlil Okafor stopped by SI Now this week and got a bit of a surprise during an interview with SI Now's Maggie Gray.

NBA draft prospect Jahlil Okafor stopped by SI Now this week and got a bit of a surprise during an interview with SI Now's Maggie Gray.

SI.com NBA editor Matt Dollinger attempted to pull a fast one on the former Duke star by posterizing him on a sneak attack, but Okafor was ready.

Not only did Okafor reject Dollinger at the rim, he threw the ball down on him afterwards, perhaps still remembering that Dollinger chose Towns over him in SI.com's No. 1 draft pick roundtable. 

Between Okafor and former Wisconsin big man Frank Kaminsky, it was a good day at SI for NBA draft hopefuls.
