5 Players with the highest true shooting percentage in 2020-21 NBA Season
The 2020-21 NBA season was unpredictable but still one of the most exciting campaigns ever.
As always, there were a few players that stood out because of the quality of their performances. Several records were broken and made during the campaign. The shooting numbers of some of the stars were top-notch.
30 players who attempted a minimum of ten field goals per game recorded a true shooting percentage of at least 60% during the campaign. It's a remarkable number to consider and a great testament to how fluent the game has become offensively.
True shooting percentage is a measure of a player's overall shooting efficiency. Field goals, including 3-pointers and free throws made, were all taken into account.
On that note, let's take a look at the top five players with the best true shooting percentage in the 2020-21 NBA season (minimum ten field goal attempts per game).
