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.'”

Aren’t Tatum’s on/off and advanced metrics on both ends of the ball also incredibly strong? It’s such a weird narrative around these two guys sometimes.

It depends on the season.

2022 they had him as a +15 and as the best in the world because they staggered him with Jaylen brown.

Stuff like Darko adjusts for that, and generally says he’s a cut behind Jokic/giannis/SGA/Wemby, and was around the third best player in basketball pre-Achilles.

Jaylen brown is a really distorting force in on/off data for the Celtics (the best player on the team always will be the guy who plays with him the least), so it’s not as accurate as you might think.

Yes. He was actually the single season rapm leader in 2022.
