The Willow Grove native led Division I with 23.3 points per game last year and scored 2,314 points in his five seasons at Villanova, surpassing Kerry Kittles for the program record.
“At 24 years old and weighing around 260 pounds, he’ll likely see minutes at center at the NBA level due to limited lateral quickness on the perimeter,” Sports Illustrated wrote.
In April 2024, Dixon declared himself eligible for the 2024 NBA draft. You can watch a recent ESPN highlight reel here.
