Obviously I agree, but Scottie, Giannis, BI, and RJ, would be such a funny team. Would be even funnier when everyone talked about the 2026 champions having no one who was even a league average on volume shooter in the starting lineup

blackwolfgoogol | Raptors

that team would be insane just because that’d mean the Bucks would be trading Giannis for IQ and no other starters

theuncleiroh | Raptors

Presumably the Raps (who have no chance in this discussion anyway) would do some combination of IQ, Jak, and picks?

I’m subtracting Jak and IQ, which is already a ton of money. The trade isn’t possible with anyone else. I do understand if most everyone has forgotten than Jak is even a starter atp though

We’ve been begging the FO to replace him with a better point guard for the past few months, but this game convinced me that the actual trick is to get a starting PG and slide IQ to SG where he belongs. This plus a decent and healthy center rotation and the raps could absolutely make the ECF

I think everyone who watches raptors games has been saying this tbh. He’s a great 6th man/combo on a team with a real PG. Unfortunately we’re paying him to be our starting point and have no size at center to slide him down

40 points on 13 attempts is fucking absurd. You’d assume he had like 20+ free throws (it’d be a wildly efficient game even if he did have 20 free throws)

I def understand and value TS% as a metric, but it is kinda hilarious to me that it can go over 100%, even in games with multiple misses

Like “he finished 11 for 13 from the floor tonight, with a true shooting percentage of 112%” just sounds funny lol

Love IQ tho, love to see him hooping like this

Yeah TS% is easy to understand as just points per attempt. But they translate it into a percentage just to line up with all the other shooting stats.

Bobb1eHat | Knicks

Would someone be able to explain how you can have a TS% above 100?

It certainly makes it look better but where does the extra 12.1% come from? Freethrows?

Dependent_Raise_9311

Free throws & 3s. A made three is 150% TS

Bobb1eHat | Knicks

No-Conference-5004 | Lakers

Threes are weighted more and thus max potential is larger than 100

Yoshi_green | Raptors

2 | an hour ago

the formula for true shooting is

(points x 100) / (2 x (fga + (fta x 0.44)))

so

(40 x 100) / (2 x (13 + (11 x 0.44))) = 4000 / 35.68 = 112.1

so the highest TS% you can have is when you go 100% from 3pt and nothing else, for a total of 150%

(for the record i agree it looks kinda funny that a shooting percentage metric can go >100, might make more sense if it was represented as a raw score value)

The annoying thing here is that theres no distinctions on free throws and getting fouled on your made 3pt attempts can lower your %TS. Shooting a technical or flagrant fts can lower it as well.

12 points on 3 FGA with a foul on every attempt and making the ft is 139% TS. 12 points on 4 FGA is 150%TS even though it’s clearly less efficienct than the former.

And also shooting 2 fts is 13.6% (113%) more efficient than making a 2 (100%)

kamekaze1024

The look last is purposeful. It values free throws more than 2 pointers on purpose I think because “they’re more efficient” (scoring with the clock frozen, or something like that)

knitwoolf | Raptors

1 | an hour ago

FTs and 3s. It’s efficiency based on how many FGs and FTs it takes you to score points. Taking FTs out to simplify, ⁶⁄₆ from 2pt range is 100% TS, ⁴⁄₆ from 3 is also 100% TS because both got you 12 points on 6 shots. FTs increase efficiency even more

oochiewallyWallyserb | Knicks

Threes are worth more.

canad1anbacon | Raptors

Think of it this way.

If you shot ¹⁰⁄₁₀ on layups, that’s 20 points on 10 shots, aka 100% TS

If you shoot ¹⁰⁄₁₀ but half are layups and half are 3’s, that’s 25 points on 10 shots, better than going 100% on 2’s. Thus your TS% is over 100

The whole point of TS is to better reflect the actual efficiency of a player in terms of points generated per shot taken. Someone shooting 55% from the field with half their shots being threes is more efficient than someone who shots 60% only taking 2’s

Tiflotinxl | Raptors

Why do you think people say you should give 110% effort? IQ pulling out the 112%

Seriously tho its down to if you nail a lot of 3’s. True shooting at 100% is based on 2 pointers.
