Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) is a basketball statistic that measures a player's shooting efficiency by accounting for the value of three-point shots. It is calculated by taking the total number of field goals made, adding half the number of three-point field goals made, and then dividing that sum by the total number of field goal attempts. This formula reflects the increased value of three-pointers compared to two-pointers. eFG% provides a more accurate assessment of a player's scoring ability than traditional field goal percentage. By incorporating the extra point awarded for three-pointers, eFG% helps coaches and analysts evaluate players' offensive contributions more effectively. This statistic is widely used in player evaluations and game strategies.
