Norman Powell should have made the All-Star team this season with the way he is performing, averaging 22.2 points on 48.8 percent shooting from the field. Even James Harden, who many believed was washed as a player, is averaging 22.4 points  and has been leading the pack with his playmaking averaging 8.5 assists per game.<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/when-do-the-nba-playoffs-start\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>When do the NBA Playoffs Start?
