His prior connections to the Lakers in mock drafts indicate a strategic fit for the team.
Dixon not only shoots well from 3-point range, but he is aggressive getting those shots up. He took 7.2 attempts from beyond the arc during his final year of collegiate ball.
During his five years at Villanova, Dixon worked with head coaches Jay Wright and Kyle Neptune. This season, he had five games in which he scored 30 or more points.
