Good start, but that's still too few. Most of the top teams have been tracking these stats and more for years already. GSW and San Antonio are 2 teams that base their player acquisitions on stats that the league aren't even tracking yet.

Houston tracks EVERYTHING. Have been for years.

LMA said he was blown away with their analytics presentation.

In a 2012 chat on Reddit, the risk-taking Morey sounded up to the challenge:

"As only one team out of 30 gets to win, you cannot play it safe."

This is good. At first, the stat won't be refined but as the years go by, they will refine it further and it will be a better indicator of hustle.

One stat they didn't mention was tipping balls to a teammate when you aren't in position to grab a rebound but are able to physical touch the ball. That's the same thing as a steal, it's an extra possession. I do this in games and always get a chuckle when the guy who thought he had a rebound turn around to see what happened.

Great direction to head down towards IMO.
