The listed position is the position at which his salary is the highest and that's all it means. So the listed position has really no significance if you ask me, so don't worry about it :)

The "official" position is whichever position is highest in salary but you can still play him wherever you want. Buzzer-manager has a salary calculator which shows the salary at different positions.

He popped in a skill that was more important to a SG, didn't he. It was probably a pop in JS, OD or JR which are all skills which increase SG salary more than PG. This player is probably better as a SG than as a PG.

You have gotten excellent answers and as said it is a guide only. I have a SF on my team, Marko Sperbert, who I can play as PG, SG, SF or PF. My PF Lawrance I have played as a C, PF, SF and even SG. My SG Vallo Tammela was for a long time playing every game at PG. My C Garth Larbi mostly plays PF but does some C and even was a SG once this season. My SG Kumar has played more PG than SG and done a lot of SF. While doing all this I have only lost one game for the season. So as you can see the positions are a guide (as said they are technically at which position their salary is highest) and nothing more. You can play anyone anywhere if it is the correct call for the tactics and matchups.

Here we come with the 2nd position i.e shooting guard.
What are the main skills required for training a sg and what should be my plans for training a shooting guard ?

Obviously JS and OD should be the highest skills. JR should be about 1-2 points behind JS. DR should be very high and I would want HA and PA to be close too. Then I would want some reasonable IS as well.

This is my 21 year old trainee Kumar as an example. He is not amazing. If he was on the India U21 team he would only be the 3rd or 4th best guard and well behind Singh and Choubey.

Jump Shot: sensational Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: sensational Handling: prominent
Driving: sensational↑ Passing: proficient
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: inept
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: inept

He is fair but what he needs are +2 in JR and a lot more IS. Sadly for him as he isn't my focus so he gets what he gets and doesn't complain. I hope that by in two seasons those three sensationals are all at least marvellous and his JR, HA and PA will all be at least sensational and then he will be a solid SG for me.

Some people including BB-Charles swear by SB on guards. I don't. Some ID is also useful considering how many teams are looking inside at the moment with increasing numbers of guards being trained with decent inside shot.

Primary.... JS,OD,JR are the main ones. PAS also is very important but not as important as it is for a PG. I would like to consider PAS as a primary. Secondary are DRI,HAN and a bit of ID would be nice After that finally IS if possible.

I would consider JS and OD as most impprtant. Then JR. After that driving and passing are important and handling to a lesser extent but they don't have to be trained as much as for a PG. I would consider IS as the final skill that needs to be trained. ID and rebounding can be trained but they are not that important.
