#3 James Harden
Houston Rockets, 6 x All-Star
James Harden began the season as the reigning MVP, and part of a Houston team that had come off of a 65 win season, but the start to the season for the Rockets has not been what was expected.

Currently sitting 14th in the Western Conference, they seem to have not been able to pull it together. That being said, Harden is still averaging 31.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG & 8.7 APG, and put together a 54 point game against Washington.
Losing Trevor Ariza, and Luc Mbah A Moute, as well as a decline in Chris Paul's averages, had made it more difficult for Harden to excel as he did within a team context, but I am sure that Harden will still be an All-Star this year. The question is can he help the Rockets get back atop the Western Conference as the season progresses.
