Enes Kanter likes giving his opinion, and his latest is about Zion Williamson. During an appearance on FOX's "Herd with Colin Cowherd," Kanter suggested the New Orleans Pelicans rookie is simply "Julius Randle with hops."

Randle, reportedly set to become a free agent after declining his player option with the Pelicans, caught wind of this Wednesday and fired back with a response.

On March 15, he scored a career-high 45 points against Kanter's Portland Trail Blazers (Kanter is also now a free agent). However, the Turkish big man was quick to point out something about that game, complete with an unnerving photograph - that the Blazers won, 122-110.

For the record, Kanter scored 17 points in the win.
