Length, Rim Protection, and a Low-Mistake Frontcourt Fit
Kandace Tate gives Eastern Illinois a classic interior presence: a long, agile forward whose value has centered on **shot blocking**, **mobility in transition**, and **clean finishing inside** rather than high-usage scoring. In her Eastern Illinois season, she played in 25 games, averaged **4.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game**, and scored in 12 contests, which points to a role player who can impact possessions without needing the ball a lot[5][6]. She profiles best as a fit for teams that need defense, length, and energy more than shot volume[6].
