Al Horford is set to be a significant addition to the Golden State Warriors this season, but the age of the veteran center is also creating a problem for Steve Kerr in regard to his starting lineup for opening night against the Los Angeles Lakers next week.
Most assumed that Horford would step straight in and be Golden State's starting center following his free agency departure from the Boston Celtics, yet Kerr has far from guaranteed that as the franchise looks to manage the 39-year-old's minutes across the course of a long regular season.
