1. What Is Ts%?

True Shooting Percentage (TS%) is a basketball statistic that measures a player's shooting efficiency, taking into account field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws.

2. How Is Ts% Calculated?

The calculator uses the TS% formula:

Where:

• \( points \) — Total points scored
• \( FGA \) — Field goal attempts
• \( FTA \) — Free throw attempts

Explanation: The formula accounts for all scoring opportunities, with the 0.44 coefficient representing the approximate ratio of free throw attempts to possessions used.

3. Importance of Ts%

Details: TS% is considered one of the best measures of shooting efficiency as it accounts for all types of scoring and the different values of shots.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total points scored, field goal attempts, and free throw attempts. All values must be non-negative numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use TS% instead of FG%?
A: TS% is more comprehensive as it accounts for 3-pointers and free throws, while FG% only considers 2-point field goals.

Q2: What is a good TS% in basketball?
A: The league average is typically around 55-56%. Stars usually have TS% above 60%.

Q3: Why is the coefficient 0.44 for FTA?
A: This accounts for the fact that not all free throws use a full possession (and-1 situations, technical fouls, etc.).

Q4: Can TS% be over 100%?
A: Yes, though rare. This occurs when a player scores more points than the possessions used (e.g., making all 3-point attempts).

Q5: How does TS% compare to eFG%?
A: eFG% only accounts for field goals, while TS% includes free throws, making it a more complete efficiency measure.
