Playing time is consistently a source of contention, indicating that the allocation of time a player spends in actual gameplay often leads to disagreement or conflict among those not on the court.

Charlotte demonstrated smart gameplay with a quick approach and a powerful arm swing. She exhibited the ability to score, powering through blocks, tooling them effectively, and tipping aggressively when necessary.
