For years, they've been called intangibles.
The NBA is about to try to make them tangible.
All 67 games in the NBA summer league at Las Vegas will have so-called "hustle stats" officially tracked, a nod to the league's evolving reliance on analytics and all the things besides scoring that help decide the outcome of games. A trained crew will chart 2-pointers contested, 3-pointers contested, deflections, loose balls recovered and charges taken.
Seems we will be getting some new stats soon, what do you guys think ? Good thing, or too many stats already ?
Personally I like it, these are important aspects of the game, and the lack of stats has made it very difficult to compare players, or to hold bad players accountable.

Maybe not, but it will show who is the worst.
Obviously not at constests are equal, some are much better at it than others, but if you don't even contest the shot in the first place ...

Seems like these will be as fudged as every other stat is.
Who got the rebound? Is that an assist? Was that a shot or a pass?
