2712698, if we're being fair, Trae plays maybe the worst D in the NBA.

He is, hilariously, first in offensive plus minus in the NBA and *last* in defensive plus minus in the NBA. The absolute true definition of a one-dimensional player, but holy shit, what a dimension. He's def better on offense than second year Curry... but Curry, never a great defender, was never as terrible on defense as Trae is.

Because he's so awful on defense, Atlanta will desperately need for him to have a Klay and Dray to make up for his lack of D. But right now, most of the players with defensive potential are too young and the rest are just bad at it. If Jabari Parker is third on your team in DPM, you are a very, very bad defense, lol.
