A point guard is supposed to look for people. Kuany waving while open. Not even a look. I hope Askew does not come back.
Go Bears!

Sounds like a coaching issue, not to mention the need for him to be surrounded by more talent.oskidunker said:

Fire Knowlton!
Fire Fox!
Put Wilcox in a hot seat!

Watching any of these guys shoot last night was pretty disheartening. This may be the least competitive team in. Cal BB history if they can't find someone who can put the ball in the net.

He makes passes to Joel Brown, Kuany and Bowser on the wing.
Brown is always open. Won't take a shot because he can't. Kuany generally loses the ball on the dribble. Bowser is not a Pac-12 level player.
What's Askew supposed to do? They were 6-34 in the first half last night. The basketball talent on this team is not good.

Uh, maybe get the ball into Lars? I saw Askew do it at least once in an earlier game so he knows how. At the very least, Lars can draw a foul and his free-throws this year have been great. I am disappointed in Askew's court sense - I thought he'd be like Shepherd, but he's not.Alkiadt said:oskidunker said:

Lars has hands like bricks. He has a hard time holding onto passes thrown to him. Too many result in turnovers.HearstMining said:Uh, maybe get the ball into Lars?

Nobody else on the team has any shooting ability. I never saw more missed layups than at last night's game. and no one on this team can make a 3-point shot.oskidunker said:

Do not blame Askew.
Mark Fox is all about man defense and hero-ball on offense.
Askew is just being asked to be Shepherd, who was asked to be Bradley, playing the role Kontavious Caldwell-Pope rode to SEC POY on a losing Fox Georgia team.
It is ugly basketball but it is Fox's trademark. It is what Knowlton hired, extended and is paying $1.9 million a year for.

The talent is better than it is playing. Nobody gets open looks at the basket, Askew can go one on five, but that doesn't maximize the opportunity for others to show what they have. And Lars, despite his shortcomings, has been reasonably productive. He likely would be better if the ball were passed to him consistently when he is open and at good angles. When one doesn't get to shoot much, each shot becomes a big pressure shot.
