Analytics Hate Jaylen Brown, But Ken and Anthony Don't

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dive into Bobby Marks' comments on the analytics versus eye test debate surrounding Celtics star Jaylen Brown, with both hosts siding firmly with the eye test over advanced metrics that paint him as a below average player. They discuss how Boston's deep, well-coached roster may be skewing Brown's on-off numbers, and weigh whether the Cavs should pursue him despite questions about fit alongside Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. The conversation expands into a broader discussion of how unpredictable the playoffs have become, using the Knicks' surprise run as an example, before pivoting to how Cleveland sports fans' lingering distrust of Paul DePodesta has shaped the city's skepticism toward analytics across all three major teams.
