Personally, I don't think a PF can change to C. There was a push a couple of seasons ago by the BBs to get more PFs in the game, and a lot of Cs that were borderline C/PF (ie they had some sort of decent JS or something similar) were just made PF. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen it change the other way round.

Bevzil is right, for each position there are more important skills that will increase salary more than others. Personally I still use the newbie thread (3944.3) as a guide to which skills will push salaries higher than others, but some managers rate some skills differently to this in terms of actual usefulness, eg I rate H, P and OD equally for PGs but according to the newbie thread OD is secondary skill.

i've had a player go from PF to C. though to be fair he was a center at the time the BB's made that push. so basically he went from C to PF to C in about a couple of weeks.

Did he have average/respectable JS, but then his IS and ID were so high as to completely eclipse it? I reckon that's the only way that it could've happened.

Will it increase his salary more then Inside shot - (reb and inside shot are both "big guys" abilits )

Only BBs know that... I think Rebounding and Inside Shot are both secondary skills for an SG, so the increase in salary would be approximately the same...

From my experience as an regular BB user and as an NT-Coach, the most important skill for SG is Jump Range... That adds the most to an SG salary... For PG, that's Passing... I don't know for sure what is the most important for other positions, but for centers it may be that all of the 4 main skills will increase the salary by same rate... For PF it's those 4 + Jump Shot, I think... And for SF, every skill is important and it's really hard to tell the difference... There aren't many SF-trainers...

For SGs, I know because i had this player with sensational Jump Shot, and only respectable Jump Range and he had ~10k salary... In NT I had similar player with prominent Jump Range and he had ~20k salary...

For PGs I know for sure, cause one NT PG had 17k salary at the beginning of the season, lifted his Passing from strong to prolific and he now has 34k salary... Other skills did not change that much...

exactly.

For SGs, I know because i had this player with sensational Jump Shot, and only respectable Jump Range and he had ~10k salary... In NT I had similar player with prominent Jump Range and he had ~20k salary...

but there are more skills which influence on the salary and not just Jump Range.. so don't be so sure..
Anyway, I have a good example in my team for the Reb/Block influence.. and also from my experience in the game..

do you think that SG with 12-9 shooting and 9 OD ,
equal for 23,000$ ?
this is not routine thing for guards .. and I think it's just because his high Reb and Blocking..

I said that's the most important skill, not the only one... But for SG, it's more important than any other... After that comes Jump Shot and Outside Defense, and then the others...

Rebounding maybe, but Shot Blocking surely is not that important... Look at this:

Weekly salary:
$ 17 688

Jump Shot: sensational Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: prolific Handling: prominent
Driving: tremendous Passing: strong
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: inept
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: proficient

Experience: awful

This is just one example from many.. I think there are neeb to be some balanced in this both skills, otherwise it is difficult to estimate..

Anyway, you already talked about him.. he is PG, right? so this is particularly because his low Pass.. and when the most influence skill is low, you can't give so much ratio to the Block/Reb and this is more difficult to judge ..

watch this players:

Weekly salary: $ 22 897
Jump Shot: sensational Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: proficient Handling: average
Driving: strong Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: respectable

Weekly salary: $ 21 895
Jump Shot: prominent Jump Range: tremendous
Outside Def.: proficient Handling: prolific
Driving: proficient Passing: average
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: inept
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: average Free Throw: strong

Who better for your opinion..?
Is there any reason that the first one should be take more salary than the 2nd? which are better 2 lvls in the main skills, lvl at Drv and much better at ID/IS . and I'm still don't talking about the Han ..

This is not the Reb/Block influence ? tell me you ..

That one I posted is SG, first one was PG, it's not the same player... But you're right the second one should, from all I know, have at least 30k salary... Weird... Maybe there's some randomness as well?

I don't think there is any randomness.. the salary of any player calculated by mathematical formula.
So what I tried to say, the Reb and Block, influence much on the salary..and this is just one example of many.. we can get which official answer about it ?
