Juan played for the Wizards starting in 2002 and ended in 2005. He averaged 8.2 points and 1.6 assists during those three seasons. He's played for the Trail Blazers, Raptors, and Pistons since then.
I'm excited about this signing for many reasons. First off, Dixon is a home town hero. He led the Maryland Terps to a National Championship his senior year during college and was drafted as a Wizard with the 17th overall pick. Second, he's a dynamic scorer. He can shoot from all spots on the floor, drive with finesse, and make free throws. And last, he's quick on his feet so he's able to disrupt the passing lanes and stop quick guards.
The contract details weren't released but I'm sure Ernie Grunfeld got him for a good cost. I know he's happy to be back in D.C. so I expect him to make the team and get good playing time at the guard positions.
Welcome back, Juan!
