Bailey Helgren was a 6-foot-5 graduate transfer center for Minnesota who gave the Gophers efficient, low-usage frontcourt minutes in the 2021-22 season, shooting 54.5% from the field and 88.9% from the line while ranking second on the team with 23 blocks.

If you need a dependable paint presence rather than a high-volume scorer, she fit the bill nicely.
