Impressed at her 3-point shooting. She was a volume 3-point shooter (153 on the season) which is comparable to our top two in terms of 3-point shots from last year (Clardy at 164 and Somfai at 124). But de Vries shot the 3 at a very respectable 38.6% vs 30.5% for Clardy and 29% for Somfai. If she starts at the 3, we may need to play more zone defense because all the bigs on the floor will have a hard time defending ACC guards in man coverage.
I think de Vries is a 4. She's a lot bigger physically than Sotelo so I suspect we'll see de Vries at 4/5. 65 blocks with good timing. Sotelo looks more like a wing.
For a volume 3-point shooter (I am arbitrarily defining that as >100 shots in a season), de Vries' 38.6% is better than any Cardinal over the past 3 years and that includes Jump's last year where she shot 37.2%. The year before that Jump shot the three at an astounding 44.1%.
