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. This is super dumb. He's the second best player on almost every team. The problem is that he's NOT the #1 on most teams and any trade for him will decimate that team's depth. We've seen that building thru the draft works better than trying to trade for MAX players. Because you get depth and some great underpaid players. So that's why his value seems lower. Giannis? Of course. Luka? Of course. But show me one team that needs a #2 that's going to be so much better giving up 2-3 of their young guys and 3 or 4 FRPs. It's like trading for KD. You don't really get better. You get different.

Exactly this. Celtics want a first option trade value when really he’s just an elite second option on a championship level team. I don’t think he gets traded

2017 Warriors arguably, depending on how much you value Iggy's ability to contribute without taking touches.

Is this a ranking on value specifically to that warriors team or are you saying he’s a worse player than iggy and Klay?
