About True Shooting Percentage Calculator

True shooting attempts are field goal attempts plus 0.44 free throw attempts, and true shooting percentage is points divided by twice that figure. The 0.44 coefficient accounts for trips that yield two or three free throws and for and-ones, which is why TS% ranks scorers better than raw field goal percentage.
