first you should say which player it is that you are talking about. as for "best position" that is more of a suggestion made by the game based on your players skills. players that have bad inside skills and good outside skills are best used in the 1 and 2 positions. you can put players wherever you want them but you should put them in positions where their skills are best utilized.

there is no penalty or such thing if he plays on another position so one of your guards could be your best small forward if your other small forwards got less skills than he has. maybe for the beginning its a good help to use one of the bb-tools (bb-scout/bb-assist) to see how a player works on different positions (the formulas are not perfect yet but give a good advice)

The "best position" is actually a "suggested position" and can change based on training. It is actually calculated based on the player skills, primary taking into account relative skills.

It is quite possible that one of your players whose "best position" is SG will be your best performer as a PG.

For example:

Player 1: Really good shooter, Not so good passing and ball handling.
Player 2: Good shooter, OK passing and ball handling.
Player 3: Can't hit barn door with shot, but is OK passing and ball handling.

Players 1 and 2 will have a best position as SG, Player 3 as a PG. You might be better using Player 1 as your SG, and Player 2 as your PG, and use Player 3 as a backup (or selling him or firing him). You will get just as good passing and ball handling from Player 2 as Player 3, and better shooting. PG's shoot, but perhaps less than SG.
