Teams picking near the top of the 2015 NBA Draft are secretly hoping that Duke's Jahlil Okafor and his dog are a package deal.

Not only would they get a potential All-Star talent in Okafor, but they'd also land a relentless perimeter defender with unlimited stamina in his dog, Natty.

Okafor purchased his canine companion shortly after the Blue Devils won the 2015 national championship, which could explain the name choice.

If the Minnesota Timberwolves select Okafor first overall, the franchise could stick Natty in a cute little costume and give Crunch the Wolf a run for his money should she fail to crack the roster.
