I see Askew as more of a 2G as well. One who can play a little PG. As you said quickness is a issue. But he can improve shooting. I am just glad he is back. Hope others follow him.
Can't get past anybody off the dribble, can't stay in front of quick guards on defense, shot 28% from three....had a decent 73-50 assist to TO ratio and was an 80% FT shooter but that's it
Anytime I read your post, I automatically read it in Kevin Malone's voice.
I agree. I am talking more of a role player. Backing up at 2 and PG. 10-15 minutes a game. If he improves he could be a experienced asset. I would like to see him and others stay 4 years. Not all can be stars or even starters. Nothing wrong with a few experienced depth guys coming off the bench.
A lot questioned if he would jet back home to CA after such a rough year. It was asked of him multiple times in interviews and some on here said the same thing at times.
Couldn’t disagree with this more. We need guys like Askew to come back instead of transferring out. His situation reminds me a lot of Jorts. When Cal came he actively recruited over Jorts his entire career here. After his senior season I remember hearing on here (may have been a Ksr article) that Cal told Jorts he would likely not get much PT at UK and if he wanted that he should transfer.
Everyone gets recruited over! Just the nature of the beast!!
I’m glad DA is coming back. But let's not do the cancel garbage just because it gets in your feelings a bit. Devin was terrible for most of the year and UK fans are going to talk about it.
Hickman has said he plans on being the starting PG at UK next year. Mintz could return and we are still going after guards and Askew already knows he is coming back regardless. He said in a story earlier this year he is proud to wear the UK uniform and that he is in it for the long haul. I thought that's what the majority on here wanted. You aren't going to get a guy like Fox to stay for 3-4 years when the NBA is begging him to come after one. Some on here are really confusing. Askew had to play more and take on more because we only had 2 ball handlers after Clarke went down.
This. Best post of the thread.
Wrong on Quickly. He more than flashed on several occasions. Freshman Quickly vs Freshman Askew.....it’s not even close.Hickman has said he plans on being the starting PG at UK next year.

People forget QUickly was not very good as a Freshman, but it didn't stick out as much because we had a much better team. In his Sophomore year he made a huge leap. I'm not saying they are mirror situations, but this team was so bad a Freshman couldn't be brought along like a Maxey last year. There wasn't anyone else so he got thrown out there too much too early. Most fans say they want guys who will stick around. That's not going to be lottery or 1st round talent.
Wrong on your take. I SAID THEY DON"T MIRROR EACH OTHER, THAT IT JUST SHOWS WHAT A GOOD TEAM HIDES COMPARED TO A BAD TEAM AND THE JUMP THAT CAN BE MADE. I'm not as much comparing them as comparing different teams and situations.
working hard can only take non talent so far. not much talent to work on here!

I remember thinking the same thing about Jorts and Richards. Difference is I learned from my flawed thinking. Devin definitely has some talent, he was a highly ranked prospect on every service for a reason. But he definitely was not ready for 30+ min a game. Shame on Cal for not using the veteran Mintz to bring him along more, but I do expect with his work ethic for Askew to make a transformation. It may not happen next year but he will end his career on a high note if he continues to stick it out.
O My God, poster read the entire post. I wasn't comparing them, I was comparing different situations they were in.
THANK YOU! This is what I was saying. I wasn't comparing Quickly and Askew as players but in different situations where I think both can succeed from coming back. Quick already did after averaging 5 points as a Freshman to becoming the SECPOY.
our disagreement is you think he has talent. I don't see much talent.
