Terry Liskevych of USA Volleyball explains his strategy of analyzing a player's abilities, what he dubs the "Liskevych Five": looking at the player's last five contacts on the ball. Hitting percentages only matter when they are contextualized within the game; does she start out strong in the beginning, and then falter later in the game? Does she start slow and then pick up speed later in the game?
Liskevych cares less about hitting percentages during entire games; he cares about hitting percentages in small increments to tell who is "hot" or "cold" on the court in the moment.
