Naz Hillmon's offseason plan was simple: expand her offensive game.

As a freshman last season, Hillmon was a breakout star for Michigan women's basketball.

She averaged a team-high 13.1 points and 7.0 rebounds as the Wolverines' top reserve, helping lead U-M to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Hillmon was named Big Ten freshman of the year by the media and Big Ten sixth player of the year, and was picked for the All-Big Ten first team and Big Ten All-Freshman team.
