Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4093666, member: 1131"] So my overall take on these numbers is that if we set aside the 3-point shots (which is not what either player is really expected to do), their 2-point shooting percentage is almost identical, and their free throw shooting has been equally bad. It is certainly true that Dorka's numbers were against generally better competition (Big 10 vs. Big East). Unless Dorka gets back to her 2019-20 efficiency in 3-point shooting, I don't think Geno will have her taking nearly as many 3-point shots as she did at Ohio State. If Liv's jump shooting percentage remains poor, then Liv will be in the low post and Dorka or Aaliyah will play high and will take midrange jump shots. But I really think Liv will improve her midrange shooting to the point that she can play the high post and let Aaliyah scramble for the putbacks in the paint. Dorka, fortunately, can fill either role, and therefore will probably get as many minutes as either Liv or Aaliyah. Who starts is immaterial. Who will be on the floor at the end of competitive games will be driven by foul trouble (unfortunately) and by who has the hotter hand on that particular night. [/QUOTE]
