Warsaw's Dear starts slow after move to new role

[Renomitsu 934]

Warsaw, Poland – Aloe Dear’s gradual position change to center has been met with some… interesting results, to say the least. As Warsaw’s 2C, she’s had the ability to lay low a bit while she adjusts to the new role. It’s been a tumultuous switch, with Dear nabbing one of the five worst shot percentages among the top 50 point scorers (5.50%) as she’s let loose with an onslaught of shots with just 6 goals to her name through 15 games. In spite of her lack of efficiency, she finds herself 27^th overall in points, as she’s managed to facilitate a marginally effective offense en route to 20 points and a +/- of +2. In terms of center-specific stats, she’s managed a FO% of just over 54%, good for top 15 in the league among centers (min 40 FO taken).

 

“Without a doubt, it’s been a challenging transition,” Dear commented in a recent presser, “I’m pretty far behind some other centers in terms of point production and efficiency in shooting, but I’ve always kind of been a player to let it rip from the winger position.”

 

“I suspect I’ll need some more time to get used to playing center. Nobody becomes a great one overnight, right?”
