Three-Point Percentage
Three-Point Percentage is a basketball statistic that measures a player's accuracy in making shots from beyond the three-point line. It is calculated by dividing the number of successful three-point shots made by the total number of three-point attempts, then multiplying the result by 100 to express it as a percentage. For example, if a player makes 30 three-pointers out of 100 attempts, their three-point percentage would be 30%.
This statistic is important because it helps evaluate a player's shooting ability and effectiveness in scoring from long range. A higher Three-Point Percentage indicates better shooting performance, which can significantly impact a team's overall success in games.
