Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4398923, member: 9844"] One big difference in projecting how Dorka will perform this year vs. last is how she was used. Last year she was the third big in the rotation. When paired with Liv she did not have many post up opportunities down low. When teamed with Aaliyah it was better, but even then Dorka might have been considered better at the high than the low post relative to Aaliyah. My point is Dorka is far more of a go to low post scorer than was showed last year. She was the focus of the offense at OSU and a complimentary piece in ours. This year Liv is gone, Dorka is the full-time starting C, and presumably will spend almost all her time on the court as a C. Last year she played at least half the time as a forward. As the starting C and biggest starter, I'm sure Geno will direct more attention to getting her the ball down low. Because of the other scoring talent on this team, she won't be the focus of the offense like she was at OSU, but she also won't be an afterthought, playing many of her minutes away from her natural position. It is a plus that Dorka "can" play the 4, and an advantage that this year she will rarely have to and can concentrate on her natural position. [/QUOTE]
