Generation

True Shooting Percentage (TS%) is an advanced basketball statistic that measures a player's shooting efficiency by accounting for field goals, three-pointers, and free throws in a single metric. It provides a more accurate picture of scoring efficiency than traditional field goal percentage because it weights three-point shots appropriately and includes free throws. The formula is: **TS% = Points / (2 × TSA)**, where TSA (True Shooting Attempts) = FGA + 0.44 × FTA. The 0.44 coefficient estimates possessions ending in free throws, accounting for and-ones, technical fouls, and other non-standard free throw situations.
