I'm not worried about Randolph's skill, but I am very concerned about his back injury. Anytime I hear back injury it makes me really nervous. Remember all those reports about Chris Taft's back, many of which said things like "mild strain", "expected to play in a couple weeks", etc. Well, he never played another NBA game.
Well, with Wright's injury and now Randolph's injury (and I share the same concern as HiRez re: back injuries), who else can Nellie put in at PF? Turiaf? That doesn't leave us with a backup C. Mikki Moore? He's not starter worthy. I wouldn't put too much thought into the opening night starting lineup.
