No doubt that is true. If Dorka simply provides UConn a capable Big with another 5 fouls to give, that will undoubtedly be a good thing. But one of the things most often cited by the sometimes overzealous BY crowd is Dorka’s ability to make 3’s.
The difference between Duke and UNC is we graduate smarter waiters.
Recall that there were some that were adamant that she would never come to Storrs at all. If next year this team is only relying on DJ to hit 3 and give us 5 extra fouls up front then multiple things would have gone drastically wrong and Geno's coaching proficiency would be in steep decline.
Oh c’mon now. Everyone knows that Duke grads get great jobs, once Daddy’s trust fund runs out........
Even if she can’t hit the 3 consistently I think it will be great having another big girl who had experience and has stated she loves rebounding. Even if she can hit a few bunnies, grab a few boards and play solid defense it’s a good get for UConn. I hope she’ll do more than that but I’ll be happy with either.
It's the same difference isn't it. Both located in upper Carolina, questionable education and morals, mediocre basketball.

I'm surprised you didn't add NC State to the mix...oh, wait, you did state "mediocre basketball", so...It's the same difference isn't it. Both located in upper Carolina, questionable education and morals, mediocre basketball.

Not only she does not hit the 3 consistently @28.43% (career), her free throws are about par with her 3's. It should be interesting at the foul line between Dorka and Olivia, my money is on Olivia (55.83% to Dorka 53.00%)
The only really good BBQ is found in St. Louis, Mo.
As for Dorka, I believe if used right she will definitely help the team.I think with Paige, Azzi, and Caroline Ducharme we will have much better 3 point options. All three could hit 50%. I do not have confidence in Saylor as a 3 point shooter yet. Her Fiba stats and the eye test from this year's minutes. Her shot is more of a push shot and maybe the reason she shoots from so deep so it won't get blocked. If Dorka can shoot 40% from 3 ball land we will be trouble. Maybe Christyn and Evina will improve over the summer. Can't wait to see how the team improves over the summer.
Only four can make the final four. It will be important to beat three of the other four during the season.
You touched on something that’s going to be really important next year in particular and beyond. With tough matchups in the BE highly unlikely, Geno needs to set up a killer OOC schedule to test his team against the best possible competition. I would love to see a schedule that takes on the best of every P-5 conference: SC, Baylor, MD, Louisville, and if not Stanford, then either OR or UCLA.
Saylor is also recovering for hip surgery (June of 2020). I recently posted a quote from her mother saying the surgery was throwing everything off including her shot. Her shot mechanics are also noticeably different (worse) from the fluid mechanics she displayed at USA basketball. It maybe a while but if she gets back to those fluid mechanics watch out.

This is based on nothing. Stanford has played UConn plenty of times over the years, including some stacked Huskies teams. You know Tara does not owe it to UConn to put them on her schedule, right?
I would put EW on the list of reliable 3-point shooters. She should be better playing less minutes - more rested & hopefully injury free.
You sure you have that bolded statement correct? Efficiency same as percentages in your case...or one and the same? For 2019-20 her 3P% was 39.60% while her 2P% was 51.10%. This is true for her career also, 3P% at 28.43% while her 2P% at 54.40%...unless my stats are incorrect.
