Last season, many would have said now-junior guard Ashton Millender was a breakout player for the Blue Demons.
Millender was the go-to sixth woman off the bench and came in to, usually, give then-senior guard Chanise Jenkins time to rest while fulfilling a similar role.
Because of the way she stepped up her sophomore year – doubling her points-per-games average, working for rebounds and steals, and scoring double digits in 13 games – Millender was named DePaul’s most improved player of the 2015-16 season.
However, this year, Millender will have an even tougher task. She will have to share the bulk of the deep looks as the primary deep threat with the loss of junior forward Mart’e Grays.
