Career Reflection - Daryl Dixon

[Ricer13 2,823]

    Daryl Dixon is entering his 5th season post draft and 4th season with the Helsinki Titans. His career thus far has been filled with a lot of ups but mostly downs. It hasn’t been as easy as one would have hoped to find success in a franchise stuck in turmoil. I want to reflect on a few of the goods and bads so far and what the hopes are for his future.

 

The Good

 

     Being drafted to a franchise in turmoil was no problem for Dixon. He wanted to be apart of the solution so naturally this was a good fit. He also got to be drafted with his brother Rick Grimes which was a dream come true. Helsinki did all they could to make it happen which was a great sign. They also brought in friend of Dixon’s, Fuuka Rask and then later added important pieces like Kronchy Kardashian and just recently YaBoi Oven. Dixon signing his big ticket Congrat with a max deal and an NTC was a highlight of his career as well. Mind you, he has yet to live up to the hype of this contract. One of the biggest highlights for Dixon is the interaction with members of the league he has never had a chance to interact with before. Creating these new relationships is important to Dixon.

 

The Bad

 

     The franchise has continued to remain in turmoil. They taken shots to get competitive but have ultimately missed which has set the franchise back. There have been changes at the head of the organization which leaves a lot of uncertainty to the team on where the direction of the team is heading. Patience has been wearing thin for a lot of players so it’s been frustrating to say the least. Personally, Dixon has massively underperformed and hasn’t done his part to help the franchise.

 

The Future

 

     There is hope. The new GM has started making moves to turn this team into contention. She had an amazing draft which looks to set up the future. Dixon will be sliding over to the Centre position to have him and Grimes as the 1/2 punch on the team. There’s still work to be done but the hopes are Helsinki is on the path upwards. As for himself personally, Dixon really needs to take a step forward to help prove he is capable of being a number one C and can lead Helsinki to a Continental Cup.
