Breaking down the game of Dix, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard who’s shot ready and patient with the ball.

A career 38% 3-point shooter with the craft and different types of shot creation to back it up.

Dix doesn’t panic when pressured and takes what the defense gives him, which keeps the ball moving and his turnovers down.

The flip side is that you’d want him to be more aggressive in certain situations and areas of the court.

Examining his strengths (shooting, passing, secondary ball handling and competitiveness) as well as areas for improvement (being more aggressive at times, to start with) as he tries to develop into a player who can stick on and help an NBA team.
