Not really sure what you mean by this. Watch this last game, either of her games against Vakifbank, the first game against Zurich and the first game against Fenerbache. In addition, for the first part of the season, she was one of the leading scorers in the Turkish league. Herself along with de la Cruz (and others) have sat out multiple games against weaker teams because of Eczacibasi's depth. One of Larson's best qualities in the London quad was her consistency. Yes, her consistency seems to have gone down and I do agree it's going to be hard to beat her season with Kazan, but she's also exhausted, playing a different role and athletes are allowed to have off games. She hit .079 in her last game. 12-9-38. And that's not against a top opponent. She was also named to Laola's dream team of the week with a 50% perfect passing rating and 2 blocks. Watch the game, and you'll know a lot of her blocks were setting issues. Her attacking was stellar with a good set. ALSO, you have to give anyone in the playoffs of the CEV Champions League credit although they might not be a "top opponent". Just saw your edit: Fair. I do think it is fatigue or maybe even her injury. Her level of play is a little more muted this season, but I do think she remains one of the top OHs in the world right now.

Yes she did good yesterday.. I was not talking about a single game. I remember doing this conversation in the thread about Logan and Larson.. I follow TL whenever there is a streamed match and I haven't seen anything spectacular from her.. Being best scorer with hitting % lower than 40% is not something special.. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying she is not a great player, because she is. I am just saying she is not performing that great, and on the level Ecz staff thought she would when they signed her.. With the players they have they have to be dominant, and they are not.. Let's see how they'll perform in the next matches

With the players they have they have to be dominant, and they are not.. Let's see how they'll perform in the next matches At this point, there are only 5 players in the Turkish League with a hitting efficiency greater than 40%, and none of them are pin hitters. Sheilla, for example, is only hitting .242, and Montano, Costagrande, Yimei, and Sonsirma are below her, so Jordan, relative to the other players in the league, is doing just fine at .293. The only pin hitters with a better efficiency (greater than .300) are Kim and De La Cruz. You said that she is not performing that great, or at least not on the level the Ecza staff expected, but unless you’re on their staff, I’m not sure if there’s any justification in that, because Ecza as a whole is doing well, since they’re in second place with the same record as Fener and Vakif.

Where are you getting your numbers from? They're way off. She's not hitting .294. She has a 29.4% kill percentage. She's hitting .156 in the Turkish League matches (98 kills, blocked 28 times, 18 hitting errors, 334 attempts). I'm not lying, you can pull up her stats here: tvf-web.azurewebsites.net/Statistics.aspx?ID=10 (Click "Oyuncu Istatistikleri" and then find Larson in the drop down for her full year stats with match-by-match breakdown). There are also WAY more than just Kim and De La Cruz hitting better than her in the Turkish League. You can use the same link to find a positional stats breakdown (instead of choosing Larson in the drop down, hit the button above that says "Pozisyona gore oyuncu karsilastirma" and choose Smacor in the drop down. It'll give you all the outsides. You can see she's not positioned the way you claim (and that is just outsides and not opposites)

I had been using Google Translate to convert the entire website to English and as a mobile version on my iPad. The text kept reverting back to Turkish every time I clicked a sub-category, and the tables were reverting back to the Smacor category. >:-(

Larson's late-mother, Kay, would still be proud of her and her accomplishments.

It seems to me that the Fair Play Award goes to one of Ari Graca's favorite players that hasn't gotten any of the real awards.
