Basketball Effective Field Goal Percentage

The effective field goal percentage is a statistic that adjusts field goal percentage to account for the fact that three-point field goals count for three points, while field goals only count for two points.

The effective field goal percentage equals the sum of the three-point field goals made divided by 2 and field goals made, all divided by field goals attempted.

Formula

QuantityVariable["eFG%", "Unitless"] == (0.5*QuantityVariable["3PM", "Unitless"] + QuantityVariable["FGM", "Unitless"])/QuantityVariable["FGA", "Unitless"]
