True Shooting Percentage
TS% Scoring efficiency counting twos, threes and free throws together.
Formula
PTS ÷ (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA))What it means
Field goal percentage treats a three-pointer and a layup as the same event, and ignores free throws entirely. True shooting fixes both: it measures points produced per scoring attempt, where a scoring attempt is a field goal or a trip to the line.
The 0.44 is an estimate of how many free throw attempts end a possession — most trips are two shots, but and-ones and three-shot fouls pull the average away from 0.5.
It is 0.75 in the G League, which shoots a single free throw for the whole trip — worth one, two or three points — until the last two minutes. One attempt there costs most of a possession rather than half of one, and using the shared constant would read every G League scorer as more efficient than they were.
