Washington handles with transition speed, finishes with athleticism, is athletic in a variety of situations, has a quick release, and has stickiness as a defender.  The potential is there to develop into a very high quality on-ball defender.  Has a tendency to miss the easy pass on drives then tries to make the wrap-around and other difficult passes.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["634243"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":901489,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"As the day went along it became clearly apparent that Feldman was one of the top two-way bigs in the division.  A long - and long limbed - and fast player she showed quickness and smarts on both ends.  A substantial threat to go coast-to-coast off the defensive rebound or turnover, she also ran the floor correctly to catch and finish transition finishes.  Help-side defense was strong from her as was defending on the wing or inside.  Feldman showed ball skills to work in the front court, back-to-basket abilities to score with either hand and an ability to knock down shots fluidly in the mid-range and beyond the ark.  An absolute terrible match-up problem for every opponent.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["621267"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":901496,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"For a undersized team with a short bench Kirk brought hustle and scrappiness to the floor in every game.  While she finished at speed in transition, could knock down shots at all three levels and defend with energy she was not the pure shooter, flashy ball handler or other things that would draw eyes.  Kirk hustles, scraps and does a great deal of little things that help her team be successful.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":901539,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Whitney Jense","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Southlake","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Triumph Select","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Jense is a skillful, lengthy point guard who handles well at speed and was an absolute mismatch problem for every team.  She scores well at all three levels, is slick off the bounce and in transition to get to the rim, and was a problem for most defenders on both ends.  She showed lateral quickness and disruptiveness on the defensive end.  Jense also led breaks with control and maturity.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663048a14e342"} /-->
