Calculate a player's NBA Block Percentage by entering their blocks and field goals attempted.
Learn how to use the NBA Block Percentage Calculator and its working principles
Block Percentage (BLK%) is a measure of a player's ability to block shots. It is calculated by dividing the number of blocks by the total number of field goal attempts (both shots taken by the player and shots taken by opponents).
If a player has made 100 blocks and has attempted 800 field goals, their block percentage would be:
BLK% = (100 / 800) * 100 = 12.5%
Block percentage is an important statistic for evaluating defensive prowess, especially for shot-blockers and center positions. A higher block percentage indicates a player is more effective at altering shots and protecting their team from scoring opportunities.
