What is a "true shot percentage" and how is it different from "shot percentage"?

Awaiting IVMP to weigh in like on win probability percentages....
Some analytics thing. Points divided by a formula of fg attempts plus a percentage of free throw attempts ?

I just watch us brick a lot of 3s, and I go from there. Lol.

Talk on Loyalty is about if Clark is really hurt or not....

Hopefully he hits the portal.  He’s not a difference maker at this level.

Harris should be getting all the minutes that would otherwise go to Clark.

I feel like Underwood probably promised him a starting job to get him to come.  Now he sees in person what I saw on tape.  That the guy isn’t good

TS% - True Shooting Percentage; the formula is PTS / (2 * TSA). True shooting percentage is a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws. TSA - True Shooting Attempts; the formula is FGA + 0.44 * FTA.

hopefully that isn't too complicated for you

It isn't.  Just unsure that it means much.

You do not deny that you like to argue....

I think its a tad too early to completely write him off, but not looking like a top 25 recruit at the moment that's for sure

Maybe 3-5 more minutes per game would help him.

He has/had crazy athleticism and is a top-25 recruit, let’s just hope he gets back to that and starts to open up and trust his knee more after his injury (where nothing happened).

He's a 5-star PG recruit playing like a 3-star 2G/reach combo guard recruit. If he thinks he's a lead guard now and it's 30 mpg or the highway he can find himself a spot at Western Kentucky or something.

Khristian Lander lasted 2 seasons at Indiana before transferring out to a lower level and he at least had 5 star athleticism.   He’s now at Western Kentucky and still sucks.

Given Clark’s brother was cut loose fast, it wouldn’t surprise to see him gone after this year.  Epps and Harris are both better prospects (Harris far better athlete/defense, Epps far better creating offense), which means Clark probably doesn’t start next year if he were still on the team.

I think the portal will mean guys either show something early or transfer.  You won’t see much gradual development.  Even guy like Podz left and he’s have had a role on this current team if he stayed

Clark was withheld due to a left shoulder injury.
Apparently this has been an ongoing issue -- he wore a brace during the exhibition game. The pain supposedly has affected his play and might be the reason he left games and did not return. Details are sketchy, but Google Skyy Clark shoulder injury. It is his left, so it affects his off hand.

BU has said some of his players are pussies who run to the trainer everytime they have a booboo.

Matt Mayer has chronic back pain and has publicly said he has disagreed with BU on how to deal with it.

One of the insiders at loyalty was implying that (1). the staff was using a fake injury reports to justify withholding Clark, or (2). Clark is faking the shoulder injury?

I am quite sure it doesn't mean much, based on the "percentages" being above 100 in most cases.
