Eric Dixon

Draft Notes

Dixon is a wide-bodied power forward who plays a rock solid and fundamentally sound all around game and can really score the rock. He excels at all the little things, setting screens, boxing out, rebounding the ball and making good decisions.

Dixon has always been a solid post and mid range player with good touch around the rim but has expanded his game to the 3pt line and is making the 3pt shot real part of his game. He shot over 40% from 3 this past year on good volume and he can get streaky hot from downtown.

He’s also an excellent FT shooter at over 80%.

He’s not the most nimble or quick player and is better guarding 4’s and some 3’s but could get toasted switching onto guards.

Dixon looks like the type of big man that can be solid option off the bench at the NBA level. He makes very few mistakes, plays with good effort, energy and power and knows how to be part of a winning basketball team. His floor-spacing ability bring his value up to the next level and give him a real shot at a NBA career.
