Not only has she put the ball through the hoop, but she's shown that she can do it quickly and in bunches. Thomas is a matchup nightmare for many opponents. She hasn't just been a scorer though, as she's thrown up a handful of double-doubles in points and rebounds.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["335973"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"I really like the way Thelen plays and approaches the game. She doesn't let how many points she scores dictate her game. Yes, she WILL get her buckets, but there are other aspects of her game that shine as well. Thelen is a terrific passer that very rarely turns the ball over. She's a plus defender with good defensive anticipation and vision.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["189304"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"You know the old saying: u0022You can't stop her, you can only hope to contain her.u0022 Well, that seems pretty accurate in this case.

She's playing that same way again this year. Kincaid's game is so well rounded that she's basically guaranteed to find a way to influence the outcome of a game.
