Strengths – Nigel Dixon is an incredibly strong inside player. He is a beast in the paint. Almost impossible to push out of position. Developing some nice post moves. Once he gets the ball deep in the paint he can’t be stopped. Above average mobility for a man of his great size.

Weaknesses – His best friends are fried chicken and krispy kreme donuts. He has had horrible weight problems and looks more like Ruben Studdard then a NBA player. He needs to keep his weight down or he will have no chance to stick in the NBA. He has gotten into the best shape of his life yet is still 50 pounds overweight. Despite his great size and strength he does not dominate his weak competition. A horrible free throw shooter, he shoots only 43% from the foul line. Despite his height he has no shot blocking presence. Way too foul prone and has difficulty staying out of foul trouble. He has no leaping ability or quickness. A turnover machine in the post. He has poor hands and loses the ball whenever he is double teamed or pressured.
