"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."
"Interestingly enough, Carlisle's public state of approval of the Heat role player followed shortly after the Pacers beat the Heat, and Powell scored just six points in the contest. He went 2-12 from the floor, including 1-7 from the three-point line. Clearly, Carlisle has watched Powell average 23.8 points per game this season, but it was after the six points against his own team that Carlisle decided to chime in, which is what's humorous about it."
Norman Powell is averaging 23.8 points per game and delivering All-Star-level production for the Miami Heat. The Heat remain in contention despite a rollercoaster first half of the season largely because of Powell's scoring and impact. Powell previously carried much of the workload for the LA Clippers last season and has assumed a similar leadership role in Miami. Bam Adebayo has not been playing at expected levels and Tyler Herro has missed virtually the entire season, leaving Powell without a star backcourt partner. Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle publicly said he will cast an All-Star vote for Powell. Powell's performance has drawn league-wide attention despite recent inconsistent individual games.
