Is she, or is it that often times she’s the only one hustling.
She puts herself in a good position, and she is physically strong enough to displace many players, including some bigger than her. All that is part of being a good rebounder. The more athletic, smaller players will occasionally outperform her head-to-head. She does not really jump well, but not many in the WNBA do. She also has strong hands, so you don't really see a lot of balls wrestled away from her.
All of that goes into being a good or great rebounder. Her numbers are consistently better than most other players.
She is not anywhere near the best player, but it's hard to legitimately argue she is not one of the best rebounders in the WNBA right now, probably the best.

it definitely helps to know where the ball is likely going to be in advance, which she often does since it's just recently left her hands.

I always appreciate people who make it clear I should never take anything they say about sports at face value.
She's currently averaging 11.5 Reb/game. 1.2 of those are her own misses.

I hope to high heavens that nobody takes anything I ever say in my life about the WNBA seriously

This right here should speak for itself. If she were a mediocre or average rebounder, she would have very inconsistent numbers. But the fact that she is consistently one of the better rebounders in the game, does speak volume.
She just needs to stop fighting against who she is and stop trying to do too much. She can make a hell of a career being a consistent rebounder; especially if she improves her defensive game. She doesn't need to be a scorer and can get away with being an average facilitator.
Edit: And I will admit that I do not follow the sport or watch many games. I will watch more than just high lights and low lights from time to time; but I do not watch full games or follow the season.
