Everyone is saying that Dixon will be a bust and that he got picked way too early. The Wizards needed a point guard badly at the time. You are going to tell me Dixon is not a point guard. Well if you watched any of the Wizards summe rleague games you know that Dixon ran the offense quite well. He wasn't shooting so great but still led the Wizards in scoring, assists, and steals which is all you can ask from a point guard. Would you rather have Frank Williams or Dan Dickau when you could have a winner that never gives up. Dixon got just a smuch trash-talk when Gary Williams recruited him to Maryland. Everyone said he was too small and Gary was crazy for picking him up. Next thing you know, Juan gives him 2 Final Fours and leads the Terps to an NCAA championship.
Plus if there is any team that could use a guy like Juan at point guard, it's the Wizards. They run a triangle offense, and now have many players capable of playing more than one position in Dixon, hughes, Hamilton (ran the point at times), Jordan, and Jeffries. As much as I hate Wes Unseld and hi smanagement decisions for the Wiz, he put it best when he said "We aren't looking for point guard, small forwards, or centers, we're looking for basketball players". A lot of NBA teams waste draft picks and pass up on great trade sbecause they are too worried aobut having a "true" center or point guard. Well, when the Wizards make the playoffs next year or the year after without a single "true" point guard getting more than 20 minutes a game, you will see why they run the triangle and why it works.
