Watch: Jahlil Okafor crosses up his dog

Watch potential No. 1 overall pick Jahlil Okafor cross up his dog during a training session. 

Former Duke center Jahlil Okafor has been making headlines on social media this week. First, he rejected SI.com's Matt Dollinger at the rim during an SI Now spot. Now, a friend of Okafor's has posted a video to Twitter of the potential No. 1 pick's impressive handle.

What makes it stand out from other NBA Draft workout videos that are surfacing on the web this time of year? Okafor is breaking his dog's ankles with crossovers.

In the debate over who should go No. 1, Okafor has faced questions about his free-throw shooting and defense in comparison to Kentucky's Karl-Anthony Towns. Now we know canines can't guard Okafor off the bounce. Maybe NBA defenders will have trouble, too.
