True shooting percentage
In basketball, true shooting percentage is an advanced statistic that measures a player's efficiency at shooting the ball. It is intended to more accurately calculate a player's shooting than field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and three-point field goal percentage taken individually. Two- and three-point field goals and free throws are all considered in its calculation. It is abbreviated TS%. It is considered the gold standard for measuring scoring efficiency in basketball.

Several players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) record consistently high TS%, demonstrating their ability to efficiently score points for their teams. Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets have career true shooting percentages of 62.6% and 62.2%, respectively, making them two of the most efficient scorers in NBA history. Higher still is the true shooting percentage of Nikola Jokic, which stands at 64.1%.
In addition, big men like Clint Capela of the Houston Rockets have also posted high TS% due to their ability to score efficiently around the basket and draw free throws at a high rate. The highest true shooting percentage in NBA history belongs to Rudy Gobert, who has a true shooting percentage of 67.2% for his career. This is closely followed by Jarrett Allen and his true shooting percentage of 67.0%.
In the WNBA, Sylvia Fowles and Jonquel Jones have recorded career true shooting percentages of 63.6% and 61.7% respectively.
