Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 4078208, member: 6819"] I don't know about a physical inside game from Dorka, but her addition does give UConn the ability to play a more effective hi/lo game and the potential to play 4 out with 4 real threats (with the addition of Azzi and CD) from the arc, keeping the defense from collapsing inside. Dorka has very nice one on one skills around the basket. Dorka has the ability to dribble/drive from the arc or the foul line, keeping the defense honest as well. Dorka also has very good ball handling skills, has nice hands, can actually bring the ball up, and is an excellent passer from anywhere on the court. As Geno said, she has more skills than he thought. As for Azzi she is a far better finisher around the basket than Nika, who at times was an atrocious finisher last year. Azzi has a nice power drive to the hoop as well. UConn likes to play both the dribble hand off and the 23 keep with Paige faking the handoff and dribbling around the pick for a pull up/drive or the pass to the corner. Paige now will have someone like Azzi that is a real threat to take the handoff on the 23 keep and is a threat in the corner for the 3. Geno can also run that play with Azzi. Azzi can take that dribble handoff, run the pick and roll, shoot the pull up, or pass to Paige, CW, CD, or Evina for the shot. From all reports CD also has this ability. It really gives Geno a lot of offensive flexibility to work his hybrid triangle. [/QUOTE]
