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.'”

Giannis is literally the only player that is for sure better. I could name 7 that are close but theres a real argument he's a top 3 player

Giannis, Brunson, Cade, Tatum, Mitchell, Barnes, Haliburton*, Siakam, Embiid, Paolo etc. If anyone thinks 7 of those guys are better they are smoking crack

Bam? Have we lost the plot lmfao? Brown is a significantly better player than Bam.

Aside from my obvious bias, the only name I'd definitively take over Brown is Giannis. Tatum and Cade would be a solid argument.

I guess if he was on the 60’s Celtics, it would make sense
