Post-Game Analysis: Rockets 116, Spurs 109

ts% = .5 * pts / (fga + .44*fta)

If you know points, fga, and fta splits, you can calculate ts% splits.

 

excellent, thanks.

 

I take a much easy equation to measure offensive efficiency without calculator,
PTS - FGA - FTA,
large value means more efficiency.

 

Adjusted Field Goal Percentage on ESPN looks also very reasonable to me.

That's why i think we should use Ariza as trade bait.

 

So a guy who took no shots but went 10-12 from the line would have a -2?

Anyone can make up an equation, but yours doesn't make any sense to me. There's no reason to use FTA as equivelant to FGA. Maybe if you divided FT by 2 you'd have something...

 

I haven't found a player took no shots but went 10-12 so far. The method is not perfect, but simple. The reason to use that equation is that I assume the standard for a player could make 50% of his shots and all of his free throws. This standard is slightly high, but is easy to calculate. Applied it to any team, it generally gives a pretty reasonable evaluation on players.
