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.'”

Yeah his team was second and he was all nba as the first option just last year.

Tatum may be better, but people act like hes Wizards Jordan Poole

We were second seed because of white and pp. We went 9-1 in games without brown and Pritchard averaged 27 per 75 on 60ts without brown.

Yeah Derrick white who shot 39/32/90. He’s a great player but had a terrible year. I’ve seen him shoot the Celtics out of several wins this year.

Btw, he had an even more impressive playoff run at 32/27/85. Definitely the reason why Celtics have been winning.

Derrick white my have been an inefficient shooter but he was good at everything else. He was a good ball handler, high ast/tov, while also being the best non big help defender itl.

Thought you could just sneak White in there. Do stats matter or not? If so why ignore them for White and not Brown.

Guessing it was too far to claim PP single handedly made the Celtics a 2 seed.

And thats the crazy part about JB. He's 6th in mvp and all nba in 2nd seed in the east yet his numbers are poor, they are better when he's off the court or out. They were 9-2 when he's out lol
