I watched last night's game, and to me, Dorka looked better than she ever did at UConn.  I don't recall ever seeing her go coast-to-coast at UConn, and I never saw her drive around and through an opposing big to get a layup while she was at UConn.

You expect players to continue to develop their game at the pro level, but it's only been a few months since Dorka left UConn.  Were these skills something that she always had, but only showed at the pro level?  Or (unlikely) did she develop those skills in the last few months?

Or is Cheryl Reeves's offensive scheme in Minnesota giving her permission to freelance that Geno never gave her?  I suspect that may be part of the explanation.

As far as Rookie of the Year is concerned, I don't think Dorka is going to beat out Aliyah Boston or her own teammate Diamond Miller for that honor.  But if an award were given for "best rookie who was a second-round pick", she would win it hands-down.  In that department, she joins UConn alumnae Tiffany Hayes and Crystal Dangerfield (and I'm probably forgetting some others).
