Noted basketball terrorist Trae Young, often hailed as the worst defender in the NBA has managed to pull his defensive EPM to almost 0.0 (it actually should be once tonight's game is taken into account). All jokes aside this is pretty impressive stuff as he has managed to improve on defense year after year and is currently top 10 in steals as well. His efficiency is shaky in the new system that Quin installed but stuff like this is nice to see.
