For whatever the purpose of the chart, is the position 0,0 the best possible outcome?

sorry if stupid question
Q of Comp % is basically a time-weighted average of minutes played by a certain players' opponents. The higher the number, the more the player is facing opponents that play big minutes (ie. better players).

If a player has more defensive zone starts (X-axis) while maintaining a high possession percentage (bluer dot), that means he is pushing the play up the ice consistently.
