You have probably answered this many times alredy...

What is the differencebetween eFG% and FG%? Both formula-wise and conceptually?

Thanks for all the great data.

No problem, happy to help,

as long as you can't look it up yourself.
FG% (Field Goal percentage) doesn't account for 3-pt shots, eFG% (Effective Field Goal percentage) does.

FG% = shots made / shots taken
eFG% = (2 pt shots made + 3-pt shots made * 1.5) / shots taken
or (same thing) (all shots made + 3-pt shots made * .5) / shots taken
