Why True Shooting % Matters
True Shooting Percentage is the most important shooting efficiency metric in modern basketball because it accounts for all three scoring methods: two-point field goals, three-point field goals, and free throws. The formula is TS% = Points / (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)). The 0.44 factor adjusts for and-one free throws and technical free throws that do not count as a possession.
A player who shoots 45% from the field but takes mostly threes and gets to the free throw line can have a higher TS% than a player shooting 52% on mid-range twos. This is why the NBA has shifted toward three-point shooting and rim attacks — they are the most efficient shots when measured by points per possession.
