Veteran Glue Guard Bringing Shot-Making and Calm to UConn
Alec Millender is a seasoned, low-usage UConn guard who brings veteran steadiness, efficient perimeter shooting, and a strong assist-to-turnover profile to the Huskies. In the 2024-25 season at IU Indianapolis, he averaged 8.2 points and 3.7 assists while shooting 43.5% from three, and in the 2025-26 season at UConn he played a limited but useful role across 18 games with 11 points, 7 assists, and 3 steals in 61 minutes. The fit is obvious: he’s a mature, high-IQ connector who won’t force the issue, and that kind of unglamorous stability can quietly win postseason minutes.
