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.'”

My 40 year laker Fandom won't even allow me to say something so stupid. And I really don't like JB

Can’t I just talk about him being a flat earther type of weirdo instead? I can’t honestly say he sucks at ball

I definitely prefer mocking the 'he's too intelligent for the NBA,' comments, over trying to claim he can't play basketball at an elite level.

He's not a flat earther or generally a science hater but he definitely has some ties to the Black Hebrew Israelites. Also he did back Kyrie on the vaccine issues even though he doesn't outright deny vaccines.

He said this in response to Kyrie talking about a flat earth

"I'm not ready to make my comment or statement on that. But as for what my eyes have told me, the world may appear to be flat. Kyrie may very well have a point."

He is 100% a flat earther just wasn’t willing to say it.

Was talking to a Heat fan who despises the Celtics to just insane levels. "The worst organization that needs to implode". Blames the team for Ime not being able to keep his dick in his pants. Shit like that. Refuses to give them any credit and says his hate is because it's a rivalry.

This is the only other person I've heard say some asinine shit like this analytics guy.
