Jaylen Brown has somehow become one of the most underrated stars in the NBA.
Which is crazy when you actually look at what he just did.
28.7 points per game.
Played 71 games.
Led Boston to the No. 2 seed while the franchise navigated a gap year.
And over the last decade? No player has won more games than Jaylen Brown.
Yet somehow...
Per Bobby Marks, an analytics staffer told him:
"We view Jaylen Brown as the seventh-best player on a team."
Seventh? On a team?
Not in the league... on a team.
Now sure... you can probably name seven players in the entire NBA who are better than Jaylen Brown.
But saying he's the seventh-best player on a team?
That's where the argument falls apart.
Because when Boston needed someone to carry them, Jaylen was the guy.
He played like a superstar.
He played like a champion.
He played like the Finals MVP we've already seen.
That's not the seventh-best player on any roster.
