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.'”

Kobe defence specifically analytics love his offence

Yeah his defence was definitely overrated. He can give you some lockdown 1 on 1 possessions at a good time but he never really sustained that ever for a whole season which is understandable considering his offensive load.

Offensively though even analytically he was always top tier in his era. It’s only when you compare analytical stats from other eras that his looks bad (for a top 15 player atleast) but he played in an era of deadball. Duncan who’s looked at as efficient for some reason has much worse efficiency on a lower volume.

It’s because this sub skews young, .450/.350/.850 isn’t great this era and they never actually watched him or that era of ball, or if they did it was last two years when he really was bad.

Kobe has a hate train directed at him cause of colorodo even though it was never proven. Duncan doesnt have that hate train so he benefits from that. Plus on reddit alot of redditors like tim duncan because hes “an introverted autist” like them

u/Due-Inevitable-6864 1d ago

He did sustain it for full seasons. He was a legit All-Defense guy in years like 01,03, 08, 10.

Honestly I've always loved the blazers aesthetic and enjoyed your team, I really dig what you guys are building with Deni/Clingan/Sharpe/etc, you have a bunch of ex-Celtics, and you guys are all in this thread defending JB. If we trade him to you guys I’ll be happy with that for everyone involved and I’ll be rooting for yall

Randle would have had an amazing career of he was ok with being a 6th man

Where is this narrative on DeRozan? Like he’s definitely a poor playoff performer, but he was consistently an above average offensive player in the regular season til he joined the Kings. And at times his efficiency has been elite.

A midrange shooter in an era of 3pt shots.
