Hulk, what does "effective field goal percentage" mean?

I'll take a few more turnovers a game as the price of pushing the pace by a deep team.

Has anyone been watching the other top rated teams?  I caught a little of 2 of the top four, but I wasn't very impressed.  Maybe those games were like Stanford vs Colorado for their teams.

• eFG% - Effective Field Goal Percentage; the formula is (FG + 0.5 * 3P) / FGA. This statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal. For example, suppose Player A goes 4 for 10 with 2 threes, while Player B goes 5 for 10 with 0 threes. Each player would have 10 points from field goals, and thus would have the same effective field goal percentage (50%).
