NBA Rumor Central: Heat's Josh McRoberts moving from PF to C?

Miami Heat forward Josh McRoberts has played as a "stretch-4" for most of his career, but when he gets on the floor this season, there is a good chance head coach Erik Spoelstra will use him as a backup center.

"I'm sure I'll play mostly five," McRoberts tells the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I think that's kind of the way the league's going at this point."

McRoberts is currently recovering from a long-time issue with his right foot, so until he is cleared to play, Spoelstra will use Willie Reed as the main backup center behind Hassan Whiteside.
