How will some players look with these numbers?
For the first time, the NBA will track a new batch of "hustle stats" in the playoffs and post them online within hours of the end of every game, league officials told ESPN.com.
"We decided to take this to the next level," said Evan Wasch, the NBA's senior vice president of basketball strategy and analytics.
The league will track how often defenders contest 2- and 3-point shots, deflections by defensive players, charges taken, which players recover loose balls, and so-called "screen assists," which the league defines as picks that lead directly to a made field goal attempt by a teammate.

Tony will probably be lost.
I prefer the HEB hustle stats.
Screen assists
Sounds like a way to sell oakland's moving screens... "Look at that beautiful screen assist by Gaymond, he's just racking 'em up!"

They should also introduce another stat that tracks the total distance screens have moved during a game in order to provide a correlation to screen assists.
Gamoynd looks like a donkey.
I like this. I think thus was tracked during summer league as well but not made public. The league has been attempting to quantify many intangibles in basketball. I am all for it.
They should track ref assists.
These stats will be a game changer when scouts look for the next defensive players in the league tbh
Although Dro210 beat me to the punch, seems like NBA is just trying to find a way to glorify Draymond Green even more
hopefully they keep tracking PPG and FG%, or some posters are going to run out of a schtick..
TiaGOAT will be missed. Greatest hustle player/screen setter of all time.
