Alonzo Mourning was a PF who got converted to C ( i think)

Dirk came in as a SF did he not? Now he plays PF, and also played C for a while.

and wade went from PG to SG


Wasn't he also a SG? Then he was expected to play PG, but instead they kept him at SG...

He went back and forth and is good at both. A pointguard in a shooting guard's body i'd say, sort of like the opposite of arenas. Antonio Daniels also does great alternating between 1 and 2. Few people are like him in the league in that they can alternate between the two roles well. Earl Watson can, Leandro Barbosa, Smush Parker....

I did. He played PF in college, that's one of the reasons he was drafted as low as he was. If you look at his game now, it still shows. He's a perfect SF to play along perimeter oriented Dirk.

A Jamison has played a mix of PF & SF.

I believe that on an NBA draft reports site it said Pau Gasol used to play small forward in Spain, now I think he's a center in Live?

Bosh was always a power foward, its just that after trading Antonio Davis the Raptors lost all they had up front.

He still plays centre from time to time and alternates with Pape Sow.
