Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4097377, member: 7631"] I was thinking about this while washing the floors (I had my booster yesterday, and am in a booster-induced break, although it's not nearly as bad as the first two, which had me all but laid up all the next day). The conclusion that I came to is, why are we comparing them? They bring totally different skillsets to the game. Olivia has it all over Dorka with respect to passing and rim-protecting. They're the same height, but Dorka takes up much more space. Someone pointed out in another thread that Olivia's arms are much more developed than Dorka's. But Dorka's legs are way stronger. If she wants to be on the block, she'll get there against just about anybody. Olivia is a very good rebounder, but Dorka is exceptional. If UConn puts Dorka, Aaliyah, and Mir in at the same time, the opposition will never get a rebound. The only concern would be if they all concuss each other, because each rebound is each player's personal property. ;) They both have good footwork. But Olivia has had three years tutelage from Chris Dailey, and Dorka hasn't. I think she'll improve significantly, and her shooting percentage in the paint will consequently go way up. They both have their roles to play. I see more frequent substitution than we've seen in quite a few years. I don't care who starts; I assume Geno will use each player wisely and extensively. [/QUOTE]
