At 6-foot-2, Tucker has clearly been well coached in using her body effectively to control the backboards. She combines strength, quick feet, and length to consistently create rebounding advantages.

Additionally, Tucker rebounds with strong fundamentals and understands positioning around the basket. However, her athleticism may be the most underrated part of her game.

She uses quickness and agility to chase down loose balls and extend possessions. That activity consistently gives her team additional opportunities.

Offensively, Tucker complements her rebounding with soft hands and a smooth touch around the rim. She can clean up missed shots and quickly turn second-chance opportunities into points.

Overall, Tucker’s combination of size, fundamentals, athleticism, and finishing ability makes her a difficult matchup inside.

Tahlia is a ball-hawk near the rim as there weren’t a lot of missed shots where she didn’t have a fight for the ball and those she did not win…she remembered and went harder next time down the court.

Most impressive was her ability to handle the ball in the traffic well enough to find her teammates. On one occasion, she looked to be trapped in the corner but was able to dribble out of it by getting to a low cross back to the middle of the court.

On the block, Tahlia tucked her defenders with ease standing at 6’2″ and strong, there’s not much a anyone could do.

Tahlia had good size and showed a strong presence inside throughout the showcase. She finished well around the basket and displayed a variety of post moves, most notably a well executed drop step that she used effectively to create scoring opportunities. Defensively, she protected the paint well and competed around the rim. She also showed a soft touch in the post, giving her a nice combination of size, skill, and finishing ability inside.
