5 NBA players that will average at least 20 PPG for the first time in their careers
The 2020-21 NBA season is officially underway, after the Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors got things going on the league’s opening night. As is the case every season, many fans are fascinated with who will put up the most points this season. (I am many fans! Hahaha!).
With players like Kevin Durant returning to the Nets, a player who has led the NBA in scoring in four different seasons has two NBA Finals’ MVPs, and is regarded as one of the all-time scoring greats, he is someone I believe can be in the running for a scoring title.
Another player that comes to mind is James Harden, someone who, depending on his situation moving forward with the Houston Rockets, can also garner another scoring title, as he has done it for the past two seasons now.
