you maybe right, but a player shooting 33% from three is equal to a player shooting 50% from two, plus I think Askew gets to the line alot and is a solid defender

scoring efficiency is more important than 3 point percentage, although teams can't afford to have poor shooters like Joel and Marcelas (although I would have liked Brown as a backup PG and defensive stopper)

---

but that player, a 33% three point shooter, is probably the bottom of the range where teams would take them seriously as 3 point threats... and Askew is 29.5% for his career and 29.9% last season. So without a real jump in his shooting, I can't see him being considered a serious threat from 3.

And I 100% agree with you that efficiency is really the key... but Askew's True Shooting % last season was 49.5%, and his effective FG% was an inefficient 43.3%. I think Askew can be a more efficient player, especially with better teammates around him, but Madsen's offense really has to guide Askew to the right shots for that to happen.

---

yes, I doubt Madsen will coach Askew to take the air out of the ball, and then go one on one, or jack up a 3 as the clock is winding down, as the other 4 players stand there

---

Agreed, but I see him as a PG, not really a scorer, and given our lack of depth at PG I see him mostly playing behind Cone, with our other guards/wings at the 2/3.

We will see.

I'm with Calumnus here. I think Askew was not used properly under Fox. And although a PG can make other players better, Better players can also make a PG look better as well. With a stronger supporting cast, I think Askew is best as a 2nd PG.
