He's a tough player, and not talented/skilled enough to play SF/SG.
He has played the PF position for most of his career, but the Heat play a lot of small ball. Chris Bosh playing C this season, and Shane Battier playing the PF etc....A lot of players on the Heat play multiple positions.
Because their bigs are atrocious and their team in general is really small. udonis isnt a center dude, he plays power forward more than center for that squad. chris bosh is their main center, at least during the playoffs he has been. I personally dont think its a big deal for udonis to run center because height doesnt matter much for a player of his skill set. hes not known for playing tenacious d, hes a rebounder and a rough, hustle player down low. center is the best spot for him to get a chance to grab reebs. I like birdman more though and i think he should continue to slowly increase his playing time as he continues to be in the right place at the right time offensively and defensively.
