4 Schools In 5 Years! What Happened To DEVIN ASKEW! Stunted Growth

Timing is everything ❤

Love bro thanks for doing a video on my suggestion!

[@lanob1380]

I remember seeing him at Kentucky, it was a dream fit for a lot of players that like to score. Its like they were pretty much begging him to score the ball but he just didn't because he wasn't a Kentucky type of point guard fr.

[@JaeSproo]

I see a 6'3" guy that can shoot....but that's it. Maybe if he tried to be a corner 3 specialist ? He could be in the NBA. But he moves like a football player. Should have stuck with quarterback or receiver. He dribbles stiff, he drives stiff, and he even pulls up to shoot stiff. The only thing fluid is his release. He has a great looking outside shot. But even as a PG? I don't see instincts when he passes. Even his good passes look stiff. 😂

[@edwardkimakaballislifekim_578]

He was really good in high school but didn’t do that well at Kentucky Texas Long Beach state Cali Berkeley sadly 😢😢❤

[@JaeSproo]

Sounds like he just isn't a college player.

[@eastside3135]

Nick smith JR! Ranked #3 in 2022..I also remember 2022 preseason mocks had him going #1 in the draft end up going 27th and has yet to even crack the hornets rotation

[@MakaleTaylor]

Why though

[@brodieferrell3337]

He was a rookie this last year not a lot of rookies start. Plus he fell because he only played a few games in college since he was hurt

[@gudlukkay]

Overhyped white boy

[@ChiArt-vh2uo]

To be fair he's like 21 years old and has been in the league for like 2 years only

[@CJJay-mz7ey]

Yeah I used to love watching Sanders play. Thing is at his size I’m pretty sure nba scouts didn’t believe his game would translate at all. If he was a better shooter I think he would’ve got a shot

[@zacharyzwi2954]

Can you do a video on Justin Patton?

[@InfiniteCoreXD]

He was good in high school but his ego was huge and his attitude was bad. That Kentucky team he was on had a lot of other dudes that just didn’t play well together.

[@kingvee4741]

Somebody had to say it!! That's as accurate/genuine as it gets. His ego was waaaaay bigger than his talent!

[@staaticc]

i played against this dude in some private runs since my cousin was on the Mater Dei team. He was very good and i did think he was league bound since his shot and passing were so high level. too bad he didnt flesh out as well as i thought but i still think he can carve out a good career.

[@dfrnt_hues]

So crazy Tyson from Cal popped off instead of Askew.

[@jasonsmith6536]

He always seem like an industry plant . He was always around the top guys in his class from a young age so it seemed like he got notoriety by default . But every time I saw him play with his actual school team where he was the guy , he never played well .

[@kingvee4741]

You gotta great point!

[@MstHatd-yg2kd]

You just described bronny james and Zaire wade😭

[@d.gaines7938]

I watched him play in High School and at Kentucky. I liked his fire. He was a good player but not elite at anything. To be fair, few make it at his height and body frame unless they are explosive athletes. Trey is an exception but he has 2 elite skills. Chris Paul is an exception but he is one of the highest IQ players in league history….I actually think what kills players like Devin’s career is spending summers playing AAU ball (which glorifies the wrong things like isolation ball) instead of spending Summers improving court vision, creation skills, and learning how to make reads. His great isolation scoring ability gave him a false sense of where he was developmentally and that crippled him at the college level where the players are bigger, faster, and stronger.

[@Omo.m12]

Absolutely On Point, bro

[@jmowise]

Only question they have him listed at 6’5 which makes me think he is 6’3? Trae is barely 6’1 w/ shoes. So wondering was he way over represented since you mentioned most players rarely for his size??

[@Derby_City_Dasher]

Yeah I don't think Askew belongs in the conversation with any of those guys. He was done a disservice by being rated higher than his talents warranted. The absolute best case scenario at Kentucky or any other high level program would be for him to develop into an Anthony Epps type player. Not a great isolation player, but a fundamentally sound Point Guard that could stay in front of his man defensively, take care of the ball, hit open jumpers at low volume and find the open man. Anthony Epps wasn't rated as high a Askew. Started his career as a walk-on, wasn't even the best prospect on his own High School team and Pitino tried to recruit over him every year he was there, but he exceeded his expectations and was the starting point guard mainly on an elite 8 team, a national championship team and a national runner up team, but no one ever thought Epps was an NBA player. Epps also didn't transfer from across the Country to play at Kentucky he was an in State kid and he had far better players to pass the ball too in any of his 4 years then Askew in 1 year at Kentucky. If Askew went to a mid-major that might have increased his chances of making it to the NBA, but the odds for him would've always been long.

It’s different in the social media generation

[@Derby_City_Dasher]

Askew was mid-major talent even if he never reclassified he would've never been a Kentucky talent. Not during Calipari not prior to Calipari and probably not after either. At best in a normal Kentucky year he's a 5 to 10 per game bench player after a year or two of seasoning. He should've stayed home and went to a west coast mid-major problem where a guy like him with average athleticism would've had a chance to develop. The 2020 season was not his fault at all, because that entire 2020 Kentucky class was an absolute bust from Brandon Boston the late Terrence Clarke all the way down to the transfer soft as a marshmello Olivier Sarr. 2020 was all the fault of John Calipari and his Coaching staff for relying too heavily on recruiting services getting overrated players and building a terrible roster not designed to win games. Askew at Kentucky reminded of a kid on the playground that was just there and scared to doing anything like shoot or trying take someone of the dribble etc, because he was afraid he might get embarrassed.

[@kingvee4741]

Definitely should've did a washington or Oregon!!.... even a Utah

[@johntheprofessional5039]

He reminds me of a bigger Steve Nash. I wish this would’ve worked out.

[@notreallyafamousartist695]

I really thought he was gonna be better than Nico Mannion, I guess I was wrong. I essentially thought he was gonna be like Anthony Black, a strong 210-225 pound PG that uses his strength

[@notreallyafamousartist695]

Essentially Deron Williams

[@InfiniteCoreXD]

Nah mannion was way better he just had a health problem

[@draeblak]

He's not aggressive enough tbh. He has the tools it takes to be a productive point, but he just kinda fades into the background. There was one game in particular, at Cal, where they were missing some key players due to injuries and he needed to step up. He just couldn't do it. I'm rooting for the guy, but he has to take himself seriously and get that dawg mentality.

[@TheFilmSpace1]

T Clarke and Boston were nice !!!

[@chrislewis5069]

[@elburto5387]

Week 17 of asking for summer league goat Qyntel Woods

[@loveroflife1914]

Seems like the type of guy that developed early, hit his peak at 16-17 and just never grew or expanded his game. 15-20 years ago he could have been an elite 4-year college point guard and gave himself a chance for a small NBA run or get into the Euros. But these kids get brainwashed by social media and let it dictate their life choices.

[@Derby_City_Dasher]

Yep a guy like this should've had tempered expectations of the NBA. Wasn't something he should've thought to much about, but instead went to a School suited for his talent level and stayed there to develop his game and if by chance he developed an elite skill set by his Senior season and the NBA came calling cool.

[@4ktkaram395]

That’s the problem with college basketball nowadays. For some reason, it’s frowned upon if you play more than two years in college. Michael Jordan played three years. Steph Curry played three years. The NBA is kind of watered down at the bottom now the same way it was when they added all those expansion teams in the early 90s
