Enes Kanter says Zion Williamson is “Julius Randle with Hops;” Randle Responds

Enes Kanter was his usual outspoken self with Colin Cowherd today when he was talking about #1 pick Zion Williamson.

He used another Kentucky Wildcat as his example for mediocrity and it didn’t end up so well for Kanter.


The Portland Trail Blazers center known for being outspoken and occasionally a troll on Twitter was on The Herd Wednesday, and when asked by Colin Cowherd what he thought of the Duke product, Kanter didn’t hold back.

“I kind of feel like he’s overhyped,” he said. “I kind of feel like he’s Julius Randle with hops.”

Oh my. Cowherd asked how Kanter would defend him and the center — not known for his stellar defense in the paint — said he would let Williamson shoot.

Julius Randle didn’t appreciate the comment and made sure to let Kanter know what happened when they faced off last season.

I’m all for Julius Randle in this one.
