Hello,

Is it "normal" for a player to change his best postition during a season ?

I had a shooting guard, who's now a small forward....(since this week)
The strange thing is that I'm training "Jump range", so I don't understand why a shooting guard while training a shooting guard skill has changed postition.

Someone the same experience ?

Small forwards are the most gifted so he needs much more skills than a shooting guard. If he is very good in alot of skills he is a better small forward than a shooting guard. But still the position is some really weird thing its not like a shooting guard cant play SF. Ive had some players change aswell not like I care ^^

Its not important for short :)

Actually, it has an impact on the player's wage (at the wage update). However, that's about the only impact it has.

Do you know how that breaks down?

It seems that mediocre Centers seem to get paid the most better than mediocre players at other positions. What positions are next most expensive?

I'm not sure of the details, sorry.

some player has scored 20 pts, but if you calculate it correctly, it shows that 3-point-shots give you only 1 point per shot.

No, a 3-point shot gives 3 points. The total number of field goals (FG) includes 3-point field goals (3FG). Total rebounds similarly include offensive rebounds.

The best position is calculated after the traiing update.

The calculation appears to be based on a comparison of skills. A PG is someone whose passing and handling are better than his shooting. This doesn't necessarily mean he is a good passer (he could be a horrible shot), or a bad shooter, but just that his passing is somewhat exceptional.

SF and PF need a good JS, but a SF will have a relatively weak IS. A SF has a mix of skills, so he is not necessarily an inside or outside player.

Outside shooting trains JR, but to a lesser extent JS, handling, and driving. It is quite possible that your player gained enough JS to tip him into a forward. This might be especially true if your player's JR lags his JS some. So even though his JR improved it might not yet have the weight to influence the guard aspect. Your player is probably a bit weak at OD, and perhaps a little better at ID than most guards.

How a player performs is based on his actual skills, and the position you play him at as well as your tactics. The "best position" is more a guide. The fact that he switched might indicate he would be a reasonable substitute at SF, if for example your starting SF was injured.
