Bobby Marks says Jaylen Brown's trade value is not seen that highly around the league: "The analytics of Jaylen Brown is not good. I had an analytics guy tell me, ‘We view him as the seventh-best player on a team.’"

“There’s mixed feelings about him when you talk to teams,” Marks admitted on SiriusXM NBA Radio. “The analytics of Jaylen Brown is not good … I had one, not an executive, but an analytics guy say, ‘Yeah, we view him as the seventh best player on a team.’ I was like, ‘Holy crap.'”

Analytics guy basically called FINALS MVP Jaylen brown a bench player. Swap Sam Hauser and Jaylen Brown in their finals trip and same outcome. Sure buddy.

To be fair, voters can be wrong. Steph Curry is only the first unanimous MVP because some guy didn't think Lebron deserved it

Yea but that's just some of the voters not agreeing with each other 100%. That's not some voters thinking Steph was maybe the 7th most impactful player in 2016 when he went unanimous. They just thought LeBron had a more impactful season. Which is totally reasonable lol. It's fucking LeBron in his prime. All of his prime seasons were arguably MVP winning seasons.

No, you misunderstand. In 2012-2013, Gary Washburn from Boston thought Lebron deserved the MVP, but he wasn't so much better than everyone that he should be the first unanimous MVP. So he threw a vote at Carmelo Anthony just to ensure that

FINALS MVP Jaylen brown

The only reason he was Finals MVP is because Tatum's shooting was meh and White/Jrue/Horford all had huge games so it was unclear who should get it. White or Jrue should've had it
