Couple of things I would like to ask:
1. When a player has a lower potential then another player, do they train slower before their "cap"? Like, an MVP of the same age will pop rebounding quicker than a starter will?
2. Where can I find that post where people researched the salary caps of certain potentials.
3. Don't you guys think it's silly that only supporters can search the forums? I mean, it seems BB is trying to encourage more noobs (like me) to ask questions that could easily be searched.

potential does not affect the speed of which training occurs.

From my experience training big men taller players lvling faster than shorter. For example my 7'2 C with all star potential is lvling like 1 skill every 2 weeks, but my 6'11 with superstar potential much slower

before I didn't know about the potential influence in the training bcz I didn't read the news then in season six I started to train two players with the same age at C one with superstar 6'11 and the other starter potential 7'1, the superstar potential one popped faster than the starter one. so I was not aware of about the potential and giving the priority to the starter potential one bcz of some good side skills, then the supetstar attracted my attention with fast pops though sometimes I wasn't giving him enough training minutes.

at the age of 22 this season the superstar popped many occasions but the starter potential one didn't pop even a single skill. I 've forced to sell him.

so I think height does matter but not as potential.

But that really depends on trained skill.

Thanks mannen, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Seriously, according to that list, it is possible to have a 6th man potential ending up really great. If it doesn't slow them down training, I really might as well not go for huge "MVP" types and I could settle for all-stars if I want to keep them for a long time.
Thanks for all the input!

Training will slow down quite noticeably once they hit their potential cap, though...

Well having a big with star potential (according to the previous post) 33-40k is good enough big man to have at every lvl even as a sub. For my league lvl a big man with that salary could be the 3rd best so looks like it worth to train some young low potential players with good starting salary, at least to sale them on a good price

If you can find a young tall guy he will reach his cap much faster. So its worth having a decent potential so you can train him for a few seasons longer.

Well i am training bigs and buying small. If for example buy a big man with starter potential around 100k, and then train his main skills up to 10-10-10 then at least u can sell him 1.2-1.5 mil. This is what i mean that is worth it to train low potential players
