In the Suns trial NCAA scoring champion, Villanova s number one star is a strong contender for the No. 52 draw?

According to Duane Rankin, a reporter from Phoenix local media The Arizona Republic, Villanova University's big six forward star Eric Dixon has already held a trial for Phoenix. In an interview with Rankin, Dixon also talked about the impact of Villanova on him: Villanova made me, Villanova recruited many players of this type, and they will also help you become that specific person through daily training.

Dixon was born in January 2001 and is 24 years old. He is a No. 4 player with very comprehensive personal abilities on the offensive end. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, Dixon's bare foot height is 201.9cm, his wingspan is 212.1cm, his standing height is 264.2cm, and his weight is 97.3kg. In the NCAA field this season, Dixon made a total of 35 appearances for Villanova, averaging 34.8 minutes per game, averaging 23.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 45.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.3%. Dixon's performance this season is impressive. He is the NCAA's scoring leader. He is shortlisted for the All-American Team 3 and the Big East League All-American Team 1, and he also became Villanova's historical scoring leader.

From the perspective of characteristics, Dixon's scoring ability is amazing. He can create a lot of threats in the opponent's interior. His outside shooting stability is also very good. His ability in passing and supporting is also outstanding among players in the same position. However, his ability on the defensive end is average, his figure is relatively short among the No. 4 players, and his movement speed and athletic ability are also very bad. It is indeed difficult for him to play a greater role on the defensive end. What's more, Dixon is too old in his age, and his playing style requires a lot of ball rights, which will make everyone worry about his prospects in the NBA.

In the next NBA draft, the Suns held the No. 29th pick in the first round and the No. 52th pick in the second round. Obviously, judging from the current draft market, Dixon will not be a competitor for the first round pick in the Suns, but it seems that he still has the opportunity to be selected in the middle and late second round, so he will also become the target candidate for the Suns' No. 52 pick. I wonder how Dixon performed in the trial, can he display his all-round offensive type and impress the Suns Uniform Group? Will the Suns consider using the second round pick to choose the top four-position scorer Dixon in the NCAA arena in the event of losing multiple scorers?
