Dorka Reports In

[RockyMTblue2]

She gives a little UConn plug too (2:04) and 3:06 compare Coach Reeve and Geno. She's fast on her feet our Dorka.

She was FaceTiming Amari the other night. Amari let her say hi on her IG live.

I'll bet she hasn't had a practice with the Lynx yet that has been as hard as what she endured at UConn every day. Highly skilled mature players coming in from college can quickly adjust to the speed of the game. It's the Xs and Os they sometimes are slow to adjust to. New coach, new teammates, new expectations. It's quite an adjustment, but nothing the veteran players in the league didn't also have to go through. You know fellow UConn alum Napheesa Collier has her back and has taken her under her "proverbial wing." She will be fine. I think she'll make the cut.

So I asked Google Bard

what the chance is that Dorka Juhasz will make the Minnesota Lynx opening day roster.​

and the answer provided is (good enough for me )

Dorka Juhasz has a good chance of making the Minnesota Lynx opening day roster. She was selected by the Lynx with the 16th overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, and she has the size, skill, and athleticism to be a contributor at the WNBA level. She is 6-foot-5 and can play both inside and outside, and she has a good shooting stroke. She is also a good rebounder and defender.

The Lynx are a team that is in need of young talent, and Juhasz could provide them with a boost. They lost Maya Moore to retirement this offseason, and they are also looking to replace Aerial Powers, who left in free agency. Juhasz could compete for minutes at the forward position with Napheesa Collier, Kayla McBride, and Jessica Shepard.

It is still early in her career, but Juhasz has the potential to be a good player in the WNBA. She has the size, skill, and athleticism to be successful, and she is playing for a team that is in need of young talent. I think she has a good chance of making the Lynx opening day roster.

Dorka with a double-double in her first exhibition game.

Given that the Lynx lost Sweet Syl, I had a good feeling when they drafted Dorka. She's gonna stick.

Love Dorka. Not surprised that she played well justu surprised she started. But she's so versatile. If she can make shots on the perimeter, she's a big steal for Minnesota.

I do NOT understand why any GM/Coach in the W would let a 6'5" UCONN player who can hit shots from the perimeter slide to #16? Players with her skillset at that height, don't grow on trees.

Does anyone know where to rewatch the games?

As does Diamond. I think that those two are going to become best buds.

I so want to see Dorka shine in the WNBA. And by shine, I mean be a steady, valuable player. She’s worked so hard to get there.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Soon as I saw her at the presser I was rooting for this plug: "For me personally ... it's a very similar system as UConn ... so it was a little bit easier for me to adjust."

if your a bit basketball deprived. still not sure why they couldn't stream it when there is obviously video.

Just about to suggest YouTube and I saw somebody posted the game. Pretty awesome.

 

[JellyBean]

I know it is only preseason, so I am trying to get too excited but in Dorka's first game as a professional, she looked pretty darn comfortable out there. Some hiccups here and there but nothing really surprising. Dorka will keep getting better each practice and each game. Love that we have her here in Minnesota!!
