Jillian Alleyne
Despite missing the last eight games of the year after tearing her ACL, Jillian Alleyne still led the Ducks in scoring (19.0 PPG), rebounds (13.6 RPG) and field goal percentage (.585) during the season. Thanks to her efforts, the Ducks were able to punch a ticket to the WNIT after their most successful regular season in years.
Even though she had just suffered a torn ACL, Alleyne was selected in the second round of the 2016 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury.
