Despite her promising potential as a player. They are some who are doubting Taylor's talent to be an effective Centre. There have been concerns that Taylor's height is an hinderence (running the court, movability), and in fact she is simply to tall to be an effective player, plus with being at a taller height then many, makes her more prone to injury.
