This calculator is designed for basketball coaches, analysts, and enthusiasts to quickly determine a player's True Shooting Percentage (TS%). Input the required statistics, and the calculator will provide the TS% based on the standard formula.
All calculations are based on the formulas and data provided by Wikipedia's True Shooting Percentage.
Consider a player who scores 25 points, attempts 20 field goals, and 5 free throws. Using the formula, TS% is calculated as follows:
TS% = \(\frac{25}{2 \times (20 + 0.44 \times 5)} \times 100 = 52.08%\)
True Shooting Percentage is a measure of a player's efficiency at scoring points, accounting for field goals, free throws, and three-point shots.
TS% considers the value of free throws and three-pointers, whereas Field Goal Percentage only looks at two-point and three-point field goals.
TS% provides a more comprehensive view of a player's shooting efficiency, which is crucial for evaluating offensive performance.
Technically yes, but it's very rare. It indicates incredibly efficient scoring during a game.
A low TS% suggests inefficiency in scoring, indicating the player might be taking low-value shots or missing free throws.
