Generation

True Shooting Percentage (TS%) is a shooting efficiency metric that measures how effectively a player scores points per shooting possession. Unlike regular field goal percentage, it accounts for the fact that 3-pointers are worth more than 2-pointers and includes free throws in the calculation. The formula is: TS% = Points / (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)), where the 0.44 factor estimates possessions used on free throw attempts. A TS% above 55-56% is generally considered good, as it indicates a player is scoring efficiently across all shot types.
