I've been unable to download the salary calculator and I don't really understand the formula for calculating cap and potential, so I'm going to ask here. I have this 20yo 5'10" star potential PG, (20684347). His skills look like this:

Jump Shot: prolific Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: prominent Handling: prolific ↑
Driving: strong ↑ Passing: prolific
Inside Shot: strong ↑ Inside Def.: inept
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: inept ↓ Free Throw: inept

This week I'm going to train outside shooting because some other players need it, but I think he has to be pretty close to the cap and I'd like to get at least one or two more driving pops and one or two more OD pops out of him, if not more. Is that possible, especially if he pops in JR this week?

According to the bb-salary-calc_1.0.4 next season he will have a salary of $19,487 and will need potential 5.195. Now this doesn't take into account sub-levels but that looks bad.

A second opinion is the BB_Salary_Calculator_-_Season17.exe. It suggests he will have a salary of $19,414 next season and needs star potential but has room for several more pops. For example it thinks you could get OD, JR and DR all to prolific no problem. I don't trust it as I have tested it with players I know are capped and it said they weren't.

The Calculator is a LOT more generous than the excel spreadsheet. You can take your pick.

PS: Moutlinho is way smarter than me and is he expert in these things.

JR to prolific? JR is a major boost in salary, I dont think he can get it to prolific especially because JS is going to get 2 pops from the JR training, two most salary boosting skills, maybe he can get it to proficient if lucky prominent.

This is not an opinion this is what the two salary calculators claim, one says he is capped already, the other says he can reach triple prolific.
