Fewer posts utilize a lot of back to the basket post moves so I think being able to position herself well, catch an entry pass and score is mostly what she'll need to be effective as a scorer.  Passing out of double teams will improve as well as her midrange shot.  Big T finishes well around the rim and has magnets for hands.  I dont think there is another player in the league that has her combination of incredible hands along with her sheer size and strength.  Defensively she has been exposed by quick bigs with perimeter shots but overall she has done quite well and holds up well during pace of play.  I think the Liberty missed out on her big time, especially since Charles hasnt been battling as hard in the post this year.

Side rant--I've never understood the argument that she "drags" up the court or struggles to keep up with pace of play.  She isnt fast but she is always back defensively and almost never looked winded during collegiate games when she was out there for a full 40 minutes.  She isnt going to make her way up the court as effortlessly as players like the Ogwumikes, Turner and Wilson but she holds up.
