What was with the analytics that came up in the Boston Celtics Jaylen Brown trade saga?
There may actually be something to those analytics, especially if the Celtics were leaning on them when they made the decision to move the Cal alum.
Recent chatter surrounding the Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown trade saga has prompted an examination of the analytics that played a role. After a comment by a well-regarded salary cap analyst was taken out of context, it appears that any complaints about analytics' view of the Georgia-born player were either misinterpreted or used to disparage Brown.
However, there may indeed be substance to these analytics, particularly if the Celtics utilized them in their decision to trade Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. The creators of the Score YouTube channel have put together a clip that provides a closer look at this topic. The video can be found embedded below for those interested in learning more about the analytics involved and the broader trade decision.
