Field Goal Percentage
Field Goal Percentage is a statistic used in basketball to measure a player's shooting efficiency. It is calculated by dividing the number of successful field goals made by the total number of field goal attempts, then multiplying the result by 100 to express it as a percentage. A higher percentage indicates better shooting performance.
For example, if a player makes 5 shots out of 10 attempts, their Field Goal Percentage would be 50%. This metric helps coaches and analysts evaluate a player's scoring ability and overall contribution to the team's offense during a game or season.
