Norman Powell is having an All-Star-level season, and there seems to be growing traction around the league to support this movement.
The Heat still being in contention at this point in the NBA season, despite a truly rollercoaster first half of the year, has so much to do with the spark that Norman Powell's production and impact have made.
The 11-year veteran does have some experience carrying a team, as you could argue he did the lion's share of the workload with the LA Clippers last season, despite James Harden also in attendance.
Powell has done the same with the Heat this year, and with Bam Adebayo not playing anywhere near the caliber he should be playing at, and Tyler Herro having been out of the lineup virtually all season, Powell doesn't have a Harden this time around, which is more juice squeezed when it comes to who should be considered for the NBA All-Star game.
