TS% is considered the most complete shooting efficiency metric. It answers the question: how many points does a player produce per scoring possession, accounting for every way to score?
Unlike FG% or eFG%, TS% includes free throws, which are a major source of points for many players (think Joel Embiid or Giannis Antetokounmpo). Ignoring free throws heavily underrates those profiles.
The NBA average sits around 57%. A player above 60% is very efficient. Above 65% is exceptional, usually reserved for rim-running bigs or elite shooters.
HoopsTrackR automatically computes TS% for every game and compares it to your season average and benchmarks to help you contextualize your level.
Formula
TS% = (PTS / (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA))) × 100Real example
A player scoring 28 points on 18 field goal attempts and 6 free throws: TS% = (28 / (2 × (18 + 0.44 × 6))) × 100 ≈ 67.4%.
