Despite entering this season as one of the top upperclassmen in the nation, Eric Dixon has continued to expand his game while climbing up draft boards.
Villanova currently sits at 6-4 on the season following an extremely bumpy start over their first seven games, but they have recently looked like they are finding their identity after rolling to three straight victories. While the Wildcats do not have the level of overall talent that we are used to seeing, the play they have received from senior forward Eric Dixon has been nothing short of remarkable. He is currently second in the nation for scoring at 25.
As mentioned, Dixon has been one of the best scorers in all of college basketball this season but has also made an impact all over the floor. Through his first nine games of the season, he has averaged 25.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, two assists and 1.1 steals on eye-popping efficiency: 53% from the field, 54.1% from three and 85.1% from the free-throw line.
Aside from the long-range shooting, he also has great touch inside the lane as he consistently has finished through contact. He does not lack aggression and does not seem to back down from opponents. His willingness to either finish through contact or over the top with a soft touch, these tools have also seemed very promising.
