Tatum is a dynamic scorer who thrives at finishing around the rim with either hand. Her ability to adjust mid-air through contact makes her extremely difficult to defend. She combines skill and strength to convert tough layups, often turning potential misses into highlight plays. A complete player on both ends of the floor, Taniyah is definitely one to watch as the season progresses.

Tatum has been a key player on a young and talented Spanaway Lake squad. Her ability to do a little bit of everything has helped her have an impact on a lot of fronts, and means she’s always lurking to make a play. She’s leading the team in points (13.8) and steals (4.2), and is second in rebounds (5.2) and assists (2.7).

Taniyah is one of my favorite freshman to watch, always giving 100% and making high level plays. She’s a dynamic scorer and has an elite jumper from deep. She moves off ball smoothly too, getting open and having the confidence to let it fly from deep to sink the jumper. Against Graham Kapowsin, she scored 22 points on 10-12 shooting to go along with 9 rebounds and 4 steals.

Taniyah has a bright future on the court. She stays aggressive on the offensive side, being able to attack down hill and kick out to open defenders or knock down shots at a high level. Tatum defends well, having quick feet and nice agility so she can recover quickly. She is poised for a great high school career
