The Celtics wing Jaylen Brown took exception to ESPN’s Bobby Marks on Saturday after Marks suggested on Sirius XM NBA Radio that there are “mixed feelings” about Brown around the league, potentially stifling his trade value. The analyst relayed a discussion with an “analytics guy” who said that he would consider Brown a team’s seventh-best player.
The Celtics star rejected that assessment on social media, claiming that analytics are used “to discredit and control narratives.”
