When he was with the Celtics, of course. He was seldom on the court without either Robert or Kevin. So, he went to the spot where his partner wasn't. He played center when McHale was on the court. PF when Robert was. He was certainly versatile enough.
Made for an awesome 4 man rotation in the front court.
