NBA tracking hustle stats, arrogantly not labeling them Tommy Points

In this year's Las Vegas summer league, the NBA will begin their foray into charting hustle. If they don't refer to this stat as "Tommy Points", I will be rioting in the streets. It would be great to hear on the broadcasts, "Coming to town tonight is the Boston Celtics, averaging a league high 43.6 Tommy Points per game".

As for what they are charting as hustle stats, Howard Beck tweeted out the categories below.

Cool innovation for Summer League: NBA will track 5 "hustle stats": Contested 2pt/3pt FG, Deflections, Loose Ball Recovered, Charge Drawn.
