I have a point guard named Charel Cools, who suddenly changed from point guard to small forward. He was a point guard, he now is a small forward. How is this possible?? My two primary point guards are injured, he's my first back up, so this really s***s

Mr Cools is still perfectly capable of playing point guard for you, so stop fretting! It's skills that determine how effective a player is, not the "Best Position" tag. For comparison, my SF depth chart consists of two SGs and a C.

The Best Position of a player is determined by an algorithm somewhere in the guts of the BB server and as a player's skills change, so might his Best Position.

Best Position has zero effect on player performance - it's merely a suggestion.

A player's "best position" is calculated based on his skills, and can change based on training. It might be better called a "suggested position".

How a player performs in a game iis based on his skills, and what position you play him at - not his "best position". How a player trains is also based on the position he plays in your games, and not his "best position".

In BB, players are give a best position of "point guard" if their passing and ball handling skills are higher than their other skills, particularly their shooting skill. This does not mean that they are bad shooters, but instead are good passers as well; or it could mean they a really horrible shooters, and their passing is less horrible. It's mostly relative skills.

You likely trained your "point guard" in jump shots. So now his shooting is better, but his passing is just as good as it ever was. He will perform a little better than before as a point guard (who do need to be able to shoot). If you train outside shooting so that his jump range improves, his classification might change to "shooting guard". And if you were to train passing, he might become a "point guard" again.
