She really hopes Plak will take her spot as opposite hitter in Dutch NT, because she proved in the past she more than capable to fill in her shoes. But also this is uncertain, because she originally is a outside hitter and it's the question she will return playing volleyball...
According to Sloëtjes Daalderop is a huge talent and will take over her spot as topscorer for the Dutch NT
Plak is currently the best choice for OPP. But she needs to confirm her OPP position both in club and NT. She also needs to improve her skill as well. Right now she is just a bit clumsy.
Daalderop hardly got court time in Novara. Due to the poor performance of Smarzek, she may get more court time. But if she wants to play as a starter, I think she needs to change the club next season. I heard she signed a two-year contract with Novara. Not sure if she could leave next season.
Daalderop, Herbots, and Orthmann are almost the same age. I think Daalderop has the highest potential among 3 of them. But now she is falling behind. Hope she can develop and improve in the next few years.
