You know that the salary formula is very complex. For example, two similar centers, with difference only in SB can have very different salaries...
I guess it is even more difficult to compare different positions... but it is a fact that centers (mainly Brazilian) have all the highest salaries in BB :)

Lol, so it should be the weigthed average of the important skills per position if I understand it right.

Going by what is being speculated, a Center will have his potential on the weighted average of important skills for a Center (inside) and a SF will have a wider array of skills to hit the ceiling. Which means a Center will have a lower total skill potential than a SF.

But what if I attempt to convert my Center to a SF? Will the potential be recalculated from a Center's to a SF's once the position changes?

I am aware of that thread. I understand that Charles clarified there potential acts as the cap on the total accumulation of skills, rather than a limit on how far you can actually take one skill.

However here they are speculating that different positions have a different potential threshold, even though the potential level is the same. Which is to say a SF will have a higher total accumulation of skills as compared to a Center because his 'important' skillset is bigger than the Center's.

But that makes absolutely no sense.
If you are not going to train a guy (and consequenty are not looking for a very young one), why do you care what his potential is? The only thing you are going to achieve by buying a guy with high potential and not train him is to spend alot more money for exactly the same results.

It seems to me that lots are people are mistaking potential for some kind of magic skill that will turn every player with a high one into a superstar.

Sorry, then I don't understand this part.
In general, there is in a multi-skilled way a cap on how good a player can become. That limit does not depend upon position; if you really wanted to take a 7'3" player and make him into a guard, he'd still have the same potential and the same cap, just that it would take effect on his guard skills instead of his center skills.


Can someone please explain it to me?

Well, the limit does not change, but it does affect each position.

Guards get their cap divided over 6 skills and Centers over 4 skills. Which means a center with the same potential as a guard can always train to a higher lever than the guard. This is obviously unfair to the guard trainers.
