Basketball True Shooting Percentage

The true shooting percentage is the shooting percentage adjusted for three-pointers and free throws, and measures a player's efficiency at shooting the ball.

True shooting percentage equals half the points scored divided by the sum of the field goals attempted and 0.475 times the free throws attempted.

QuantityVariable["TS%", "Unitless"] == (0.5*QuantityVariable["PTS", "Unitless"])/(QuantityVariable["FGA", "Unitless"] + 0.475*QuantityVariable["FTA", "Unitless"])
