Summary:

Eric Dixon is a strong, mobile big man that has become Villanova’s go-to scorer under their new head coach Kyle Neptune, and Dixon has operated primarily as a post-up scorer and spot-up shooter for Villanova.

Dixon has provided them with shooting and scoring when Whitmore was injured early on and has continued to provide them consistent scoring since. Villanova has had their ups and downs since Whitmore’s return, as they haven’t always integrated Whitmore very well into their offense, but Dixon has had a solid junior season this year, and could garner some looks from NBA teams when he decides to declare to enter the NBA draft.
