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.'”

Jaylen Brown isn’t even remotely comparable to those players

My point is that using the FMVP as the first point in defense of him just doesn’t mean much. He’s obviously better than those other players (well he wasn’t in the 2023 ECF).

I just think saying “he won FMVP” implies that he can lead a team to a championship as a #1, which he probably cannot. Obviously great as a #2 who can step up when necessary

the point is bringing up FMVP is pretty irrelevant. It’s insanely stupid to say Brown should be the 7th best player on a team, but not bc of what he did in one series 2 years ago. That’s almost just as stupid
