Jaylen Brown is one of the most analytically contested players in basketball. His turnover rate is high. His usage relative to his efficiency is a recurring criticism. His on/off numbers in Boston are often negative the team’s performance margins shrink when he plays compared to when he sits. He ranks first in this newsletter’s Ball Hog Index (FGA + FTA − AST, with below-average eFG%). By most public advanced metrics, he grades out as an average to slightly below-average player.
Net Wins ranks him 7th in the league at 9.6.
Both of those things are true at once. Working through why reveals something important about what any metric is actually measuring and what question you need to ask before you pick which one to use.
