23 year old, Perennial All-Star with $67K salary.

Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: prodigious
Outside Def.: wondrous Handling: proficient
Driving: prominent Passing: strong
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: average

He hasn't popped in 6 weeks of training (2 position training of OD, PA, JS rotation). Should I stop training him?

Yes, I would stop training him. As an SG, that JS/JR really took the majority of his training potential. I'm not saying he can't pop anymore (there's no hard cap), but I don't think it would be worth your time.

Thanks. But I'm really hoping for one more skill point in js, of, ha, dr, pa and is. I've seen PAS guards with salaries of $90+, but I wonder if he's reached his soft cap?

Why is JR higher than JS? JR is supposed to pop in JS training. Awesome trainee! Although I would want 1 more JS,DR,+2PA,and another OD. Maybe he has a lowsubevel or somethin in his potential? Check the game manual.

According to Buzzer Manager your player is at 95-100% of his potential. So technically he still has a little breathing room but you're probably better off turning to other players as your priority.

I'd say he has more pops in him still. It'd be a shame to get his JR so high and leave the JS.

After that if you want to train DR+H you'd be onto 2 position training anyway meaning you'd waste less potential training minutes if it turns out he's popping too slowly.

I bought this player last month. Whoever trained him, trained Jump Range quite a bit. More than I would have. But I was hoping or thinking I could train him up a little since he's 23. And you're right, there are sublevels for potential. But I've seen PAS described as $95-$140 salary as a range so I thought him being at $67 would give me room to polish up his skills. But I haven't gotten any pops even though my 24 year old All Star (salary of $35) is popping every now and then.

I check on the transfer list occasionally to see PAS with salaries of $70K or more. There are a lot of guards with comparable skills at this price level. Some of the centers go up to $120K but I know enough to disregard those comparisons. I've seen the forum help manuals and it suggests that PAS can have a salary cap range of $90-$140 depending on sublevel. But perhaps that info is outdated due to seasonal salary adjustments? Anyway, I figured some experienced owners can take a quick look at the skills and salary and say either "dude has reached his soft cap" or "dude has some room to go".

Thanks. Don't have an alternative trainee anyway. So I guess I'll plug along with him in the training rotation till next season and see what results I get.
