The Lakers signed Dickson in two-way contract! He is 6-foot-8 and averages 23+5 per game. He stocks up two forwards in one day

Just ended the second round draft, the Lakers signed Eric Dixon, a star from Villanova University, with a two-way contract. Dixon is also a treasure in the second round draft, because he ranked first in the NCAA total score in the 24-25 season and his three-point shooting percentage reached 41%.

Dixon is a forward lineman. He can play 3-4 in the NCAA. His characteristic is his spatial attributes. His three-point shooting percentage was once as high as 48.6% in the 21-22 season, and his three-point shooting percentage last season also exceeded 40%.

Dixon has been working hard in the NCAA for five seasons. He is 24 years old this year, averaging 34.7 minutes per game in the 24-25 season, scoring 23.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.99 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 0.8 steals, with a shooting percentage of 45.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%.

Dixon's physical test data is 2.02 meters tall, 2.12 meters in wingspan, and 258.6 pounds. He is very strong, which makes him have a clear advantage when playing under the basket, and he has excellent three-point shooting ability.

After the Lakers signed him, they added two forward players in this draft, Dickson, who is 6-8 and Tiero, who is 6-7. Tiero's naked feet are 1.99 meters, Dixon's naked feet are 2 meters, Tiero can play 2-3 position, and Dixon can play 3-4 position.

It is obvious that the Lakers' draft is to strengthen the wings and forwards. Reddick chose Tiero to improve his defense, because Tiero is a defensive strongman with three-pointers. Dickson was signed for space, because Dixon's characteristic is space type.

How do you think of Pelinka's choice this day? I think it was entirely because of Fu Paul's relationship, but signing Dixon would definitely make a big profit.
