Julius Randle is so strong even Metta World Peace praised him

Julius Randle will make his return to the basketball court during the Los Angeles Lakers' Summer League opener on Friday, but the team has been singing his praises leading up to the big moment. Randle's strength is what has teammates calling him an "ox" and "beast," but he matched up with a former Laker who built his reputation on being one of the strongest players in the league.

Metta World Peace stopped by the Lakers' training facility and called Randle "super strong." A sign-off by Metta is about as good as it gets when it comes to strength, and with all of the praise being heaped at the returning power forward, it's hard not to get hyped about his progression since breaking his leg.
