It was good to see Dorka playing alongside Alanna Smith. With Bridget Carleton starting, they are a bit undersized. Napheesa took the starting Jump Ball at 6'1", and she is the tallest player behind 6'4" Smith on the starting lineup. They matched up better defensively against Stewie and JJ with Dorka and Smith playing together. Dorka also brings some more rebounding help, particularly offensive, as Smith plays a more outside game with her good 3 point shot.

Miller is injured, don't go by what this game showed. If Dorka doesn't start, when Miller comes back both can continue the chemistry they developed last year but I think Dorka will eventually find her way to the starters because of her passing skills and, it looks like, improving defense. Unless Alana stays a starter, Miller could find her way there too - both Alana or Carleton could moved. You never know.....right now, all the starters are playing well and they are winning but that combination is not their best defensive lineup nor is it their best offensive lineup as well.
Still, the coach could prefer to have a strong lineup coming in for the starters and spread the minutes.....to have an advantage over the bench lineup of opponents.

They both are helpful for the Lynx. A lot just depends on the team the Lynx are facing, the matchups, and how Coach Reeve utilize the two players.

The Lynx have a lot of options that they could work with after Williams, Phee, and McBride. The addition of Smith helps greatly because of her scoring ability and her size. This allows, depending on the team the Lynx are facing, a chance for Phee to get some needed rest. I love the addition of Zandalasini, another big. She is a huge plus. There are some great additions to this Lynx roster. I really love the fact that we have Williams and Heideman here in Minnesota. Two solid point guards who can create off the bounce or without the ball. Great additions.
