The 0.44 in TS%
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:50 pm
0.44 is used instead of 0.5 as an estimate to account for 3pt fouls and techs
Am I missing something or is using this number compared to the “exact” version somewhat outdated? Shouldn’t basketball-reference or nba.com easily be able to track exactly how many 2 point fouls, 3 point fouls and technicals each individual player has drawn and then put that into the formula? I guess you can’t use it with old players hence creating the need for old TS%, but maybe have a TS%+ on the bball reference page like OPS+
