# True Shooting Percentage (TS%) **Definition:** True shooting percentage measures a player's shooting efficiency by accounting for field goals, 3-pointers, and free throws in a single metric. **Formula:** TS% = Points / (2 × TSA) × 100 where TSA (True Shooting Attempts) = FGA + 0.44 × FTA - FGA = Field Goal Attempts - FTA = Free Throw Attempts The 0.44 factor estimates possessions ending in free throws (accounting for and-ones, technical FTs, etc.). ## Worked Example A player scores **24 points** on: - 8/16 field goals (FGA = 16) - 4/5 free throws (FTA = 5) **Calculate TSA:** TSA = 16 + (0.44 × 5) = 16 + 2.2 = 18.2 **Calculate TS%:** TS% = 24 / (2 × 18.2) × 100 = 24 / 36.4 × 100 = **65.9%** This 65.9% TS% is more comprehensive than their 50% FG% alone, as it properly credits the value of free throws.
