They'll fully quantify screening eventually. Anyone who watches Splitter should not be surprised.
Tiago mentioned a couple of times in ESPN insider on an article that writes about players doing the "dirty work" and leads the NBA in an advanced metric:
Screen frequency: Vantage tracks the number of set screens per chance for each player in the league, where chance is defined as uninterrupted possession of the ball. Therefore, an offensive rebound will trigger a new offensive chance. Normalizing based on chances is more accurate than normalizing based on other units (possessions, minutes, etc.) because it accounts for the players' opportunities and isolates rebounding (for good or bad). Set Screens Per 100 Chances gives us an idea of how many screens a player is involved in during his time on the court. For example, Tiago Splitter of the Spurs leads the NBA with 68 set screens per 100 chances.

As good as Splitter is, Oberto was fab.
And the most vicious screen I ever saw was Duncan taking out Duke's Steve Wojciechowski in the back-court.
Video or it didn't happen!
He's very underrated.
