I never knew quite what to think about Keith Askins as a player. His stats show that he never averaged more than 6 points per game, and that was in his prime. Nevertheless, I remember him as an astute defender, and he was playing for a Miami Heat team led by Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning that didn’t lack scoring in general. It’s hard to say what Askins was capable of offensively, but overall he was a good player who ended up playing 486 games for the Heat which is quite an achievement.
