Trae Young, against all odds, has become a neutral defender in the NBA (alien.top)
 

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.

Here is a link to the source

I just want to throw it out there that Trae Young, basketball terrorist and worst defender in the league, is close to being a 0.0 net rating on defense if this game keeps up. Insane that he keeps improving in that aspect year over year. Shooting is still iffy sometimes but between playmaking and a net neutral on D he's otherwordly.
