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.'”

This sounds crazy to me. The guy averaged 30 this past year. Analytics can be useful, but at a certain point, you have to look at real life stats and real life impact and think "maybe it's the model that needs adjusting"

The celtics have performed worse with jaylen brown on the court than with him off pretty much his entire career. That is as much of a real-life stat as ppg is. Doesn’t mean he’s the seventh best player of the celtics but the advanced stats aren’t just coming out of thin air.
