Skinner plays the game prepared. You can clearly tell that hours are being put in. She shoots the ball with confidence, the rim attacks are done with a purpose, and she doesn’t pick and choose when she’s aggressive. It’s from start to finish.

Skinner has sharp fundamentals and knows how to get to her spots with a minimal amount of dribbles. Her game is far from flashy, but it is efficient and impactful. She has a smooth shot that she can get off from all angles, and her defensive instincts are a big reason why she is such a problem in the passing lanes.

You can just see the potential with Skinner. She has the length, she has the instincts (with and without the ball), and on the defensive end she has the energy and motor to be a threat as well. She also has a calmness about her game… not always in a rush and not overthinking. Good upside.

Skinner is one of those players who could take a huge leap this year. She can score from multiple levels, defend 1-3, and is just as aggressive off the ball as she is with it.

Skinner has a little “umph” in her step, and she has the solid frame to go with it. Beyond the arc, Katherine can keep up with some of the best shooters in the state. She’s active, strong and has a good sense of awareness to match. As her skillset starts to fill out, Skinner will be a player to follow as she enters AAU season.
