Deja Winters brings two-way bite and steady production to Minnesota's backcourt
Deja Winters profiles as a useful, defense-first guard who has already shown she can contribute across the board for Minnesota, averaging 11.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game while also hitting a team-high rate from deep in her season with the Gophers.[3] Her value goes beyond box-score scoring: the steal-and-block numbers point to real disruptive instincts, and that kind of active, high-motor guard play is a strong fit for teams that want toughness, versatility and perimeter defense.
