Koufos has a slight edge over rookie Willie Cauley-Stein to start at center in Wednesday's season opener against the Clippers, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 in Sacramento reports.

Analysis:

This is a reverse of what Karl said over the weekend, when he told the media that Cauley-Stein was "probably going to start." Essentially, what this means is that both players could find themselves in the starting lineup at times this season, and Karl may make nightly changes based on matchups. Cauley-Stein is a much better, more versatile one-on-one defender and rim-protector, but Koufos is a far more accomplished offensive player in the low post.
