What is the True Shooting Percentage & How does it work?

True Shooting Percentage (TS%) is a comprehensive efficiency metric that evaluates a player’s scoring productivity by accounting for field goals, three‑point shots, and free throws. Unlike simple field‑goal percentage, TS% normalizes points produced per shooting attempt, giving a clearer picture of offensive value.

The calculation combines total points with the total number of shooting opportunities, weighting free‑throw attempts slightly less because they are uncontested. This metric is widely used in professional basketball analytics to compare players across positions and playing styles.

TS\% = \frac{Points}{2 \times (FGA + 0.44 \times FTA)}
Points = total points scored; FGA = field‑goal attempts; FTA = free‑throw attempts.

A higher TS% indicates a player scores efficiently with fewer wasted attempts, making it a valuable tool for scouting, contract negotiations, and in‑game strategy decisions.
