How It Works

Unleash the true offensive efficiency of any basketball player with our True Shooting Percentage (TS%) Calculator. Unlike traditional field goal percentage, TS% accounts for the added value of three-pointers and free throws, providing a more accurate picture of scoring efficacy. In the analytics-driven NBA of 2026, a high TS% is a key indicator for scouts and general managers evaluating offensive talent.

The True Shooting Percentage is calculated using the formula: Points / (2 * (Field Goal Attempts + 0.44 * Free Throw Attempts)). The 0.44 multiplier for free throw attempts is an empirically derived constant, representing the approximate value of a free throw attempt relative to a field goal attempt, accounting for the fact that a player typically gets two or three free throws per foul.

While TS% is powerful, remember it doesn't factor in turnovers or offensive rebounds, which also impact offensive contribution. A common mistake is comparing players with significantly different roles; a spot-up shooter will naturally have a higher TS% than a primary ball-handler who takes more difficult shots. Always consider the context of a player's role and shot selection.

Calculating Paolo Banchero's 2026 True Shooting Percentage

  1. 1 Paolo Banchero, in a hypothetical 2026 game, scores 32 points, attempts 18 field goals (FGA), and attempts 10 free throws (FTA).
  2. 2 Input these values into the formula: TS% = 32 / (2 * (18 + 0.44 * 10))
  3. 3 First, calculate the denominator: 2 * (18 + 4.4) = 2 * 22.4 = 44.8
  4. 4 Then, divide points by the denominator: 32 / 44.8 = 0.714. Paolo Banchero's true shooting percentage for this game is an outstanding 71.4%, indicating highly efficient scoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good true shooting percentage in the NBA?
An NBA true shooting percentage above 60% is excellent, 55-60% is above average, and below 52% is below average. League average is typically around 56-58%.
How is true shooting percentage calculated?
True shooting percentage equals points divided by (2 x (field goal attempts + 0.44 x free throw attempts)). The 0.44 multiplier accounts for and-ones, technical free throws, and three-shot fouls.
Why is true shooting better than field goal percentage?
True shooting accounts for free throws and the extra value of three-pointers, while field goal percentage treats all made shots equally. A player who draws fouls and shoots threes efficiently will have a higher TS% than FG% suggests.
