The Drake commit will bring her defensive impact to the next level immediately, but her offensive skill set will provide value as well. Even as she approaches the end of her high school career, Kritzer still has another level she can reach simply because of her mobility and length. If she’s able to develop a consistent shot from the midrange and beyond, you’re looking at a player who will be difficult to guard regardless of the matchup. Another strong HS season should be ahead for her.

Annabelle has great length, a long wingspan and can defend inside or out. She will put a body on you to protect the rim.   Blocked a handful of shots today in the game that I saw, difficult to score on inside 5-feet.

Kritzer will be a defensive anchor at this level and the next, no matter what level she’s headed to. Her length, her mobility, and her need to be active set her apart, and can make it easier for a college program to find a role for her to quickly contribute and succeed. Offensively, she has some more time to get added to her skillset, but as of now, she’s as impactful as she needs to be when the possession is focused on her. Soft touch around the rim, and can finish in the open floor.

A strong blend of length and skill. Kritzers’ skillset isn’t just tied to the paint, she has the confidence to step out and take and make the three ball. She can put the ball on the ground as well.. and make shots off of her own creation. Defensively.. she’s able to guard the perimeter, and in the paint.. she will cause both guards and posts.

Kritzer’s versatility is why she’s one of the top prospects in this class, as well as her position. On both ends of the floor, she can be the focal point, and she can be a complementary piece as well. If she continues to sharpen the mid range and the low post area of her game, she can make one hell of a 1-2 punch in a pick and pop or pick and roll situation.

Kritzer has definitely worked on her skillset over the past couple of years, and even with more time on her side, the ceiling is high. She can hang her hat on both sides of the ball, but her defensive instincts will be what most college coaches reach out for.

Coaches, this young lady needs to be on your radar! You can’t teach height! At 6’4, she not only runs the floor well, but she is a blocking machine and rebounder, with a soft touch around the rim! Keep your eyes on Kritzer!

As Kritzer gets older and starts to pack on muscle, she could make a name for herself as an elite paint presence. Her length and energy have already made her a force on the boards, but there is definitely another level she can reach. Keep an eye on Kritzer as AAU season ramps up.

Annabelle Kritzer Annabelle Kritzer 6'4" | PF Naperville Central | 2027 State IL has improved her game.  Her long and lengthy frame is a definite advantage.  She uses it to pull down rebounds, block shots and attack the rim.  Her post defense was solid.
