This statistic also goes beyond regular field goal percentage by factoring in scoring efficiency. By including free-throw attempts, TS% can measure how efficient a scorer is. Because it uses a numerator of total points, this type of scoring efficiency percentage gives a very accurate view of how good of a scorer a player is. PSA (points per shot attempt) is TS% doubled.
The 2 in the denominator...that multiplies the entire denominator, right? Not just the FGAs? Or is it just the FGA's (because that's how you have it now, but it doesn't make sense with your last statement)?

I'm such a nerd...
