Understanding True Shooting Percentage (TS%)
What is True Shooting Percentage?
True Shooting Percentage (TS%) is a basketball statistic that measures shooting efficiency by accounting for field goals, 3-pointers, and free throws. It's considered the most accurate measure of a player's overall shooting performance because it includes all methods of scoring.
Why Use TS%?
- •Accounts for all types of shooting (2PT, 3PT, FT)
- •More comprehensive than traditional FG%
- •Includes the value of drawing fouls
- •Standard metric used by NBA analytics
TS% Formula Components
TS% = Points / (2 × TSA) × 100
TSA = FGA + (0.44 × FTA)
- TSA: True Shooting Attempts
- FGA: Field Goal Attempts (2PT + 3PT)
- FTA: Free Throw Attempts
- 0.44: Factor accounting for and-1 plays and technical FTs

Key Insights
- •Centers typically have higher TS% due to close shots and free throws
- •Guards who shoot many 3s can achieve high TS% with good accuracy
- •Drawing fouls and making free throws significantly impacts TS%
- •League average TS% has increased from ~53% to ~56% over recent decades
Comparison with Other Metrics
- •vs FG%: TS% includes 3-pointers and free throws
- •vs eFG%: TS% also accounts for free throw value
- •vs Points per Game: TS% measures efficiency, not volume
- •Best overall metric: For measuring pure shooting efficiency
