What is Effective Field Goal Percentage?

What is Pat’s effective field goal percentage?

We were asked this question from a hudl employee. We wanted to do a little research and came across this from breakthrough basketball.

Effective Field Goal Percentage, or eFG%, is calculated the following way:

(2pt FGM + 1.5*3pt FGM) / FGA

This means a made three-pointer is worth one and a half times as much as a made two-pointer. A player who shoots 4 for 10 on all two-point baskets has a standard FG% of 40% and an eFG% of 40%. But, if all those makes were three-pointers, that player’s eFG% is 60%, reflecting the extra value of a made three.

In a real game of basketball, what matters is points scored per possession. A player whose eFG% is 60% is scoring at a rate equal to shooting 60% on two-point field goal attempts, a very respectable number.

January 20th, 2020 Hanover Hockey Top 10 Wicked Local

3. Hanover (7-1-1, 6) – The Indians made a statement with a 3-0 win over Plymouth North to dethrone last week’s No. 1. Their top line of Manning Morris, Nate Delprete and Ethan Davis have dominated opposing teams and their defense has allowed just seven goals in six games. Morris returned to action this week after a scary injury just a week ago. Bourne, Quincy and another big game with Whitman-Hanson will challenge Hanover this week.

Game of the Week

No. 3 Hanover vs. No. 10 Whitman-Hanson, Saturday, 8:15 p.m., Rockland Arena: Hanover notched a big win against Plymouth North this week with Manning Morris returning from injury faster than expected. Can the Indians keep it going against a steady Panthers team?

“Hopefully that is the worst we play all year,” said Gibbons. “I like that we started against Hanover. We got to play the best and prove how tough it is to get through those guys. Third period, I thought we played better. I thought we brought it a little bit more, but we could not overcome the first two periods.”
