Thats because Asuma was a Lazy Fuck. Remember during the Chuunin Exams he was the only Jounin who didn't step in to stop the fight between Rock Lee and Gaara? Hell even Shikamara called him out on it. I think Asuma had the Potential to reach the 3rd Hokages Level he just didn't want to because he pursed other Life Goals.
