Dixon Lands a Serbian

Hopefully that is not a junior league.

He is 6'10" so that is good.

He should help our rebounding but from everything I’ve read on him is he isn’t a good defender or a guy that will stretch the floor. I want the big JuCo guy we have been after because he is an excellent and versatile offensive player.

Best comp may be 6'11" Lazar Djokovic of VCU. He averaged 10 & 6 for Serbia in the 2022 U18 Eurobasket; Sojic averaged 11 & 9 for the same squad in 2024. Djokovic began at Xavier, where he didn't see the floor much, then transferred to Charleston, then VCU, where he is averaging 14 & 6 for the 21-7 Rams, who are ranked mid-40s in KenPom, just ahead of TCU.

Serbia has a very successful network of training from a young age plus a number of professional players, teams and good coaching. You can see the results in the NBA plus well over 100 players in NCAA.

Does his contract name him a permanent starter?
