Voting is now open for the NBA All-Star Game, and a pair of VFLs are enjoying outstanding seasons at the game's highest level.

Tobias Harris (2010-11) and Josh Richardson (2011-15) are the leading scorers for the Los Angeles Clippers and the Miami Heat, respectively.

Harris is the NBA's 23rd-leading scorer this season (20.9 ppg), while Richardson ranks 39th (18.5 ppg). Both players also rank among the league's top 50 in 3-point shooting—Harris is 17^th (.425) and Richardson is 50^th (.381).

Harris—who was a Freshman All-American at Tennessee in 2011—also leads his team in rebounding (8.0 rpg). At just 26 years old, he is in his eighth NBA season and is averaging career-bests in points, rebounds, field-goal percentage (.504), 3-point percentage and minutes played (34.2 mpg).

Richardson, meanwhile, in his fourth NBA campaign, is not only his team's top scorer, he's also one of the league's best perimeter defenders and an NBA All-Defensive Team candidate. The 25-year-old is averaging career-highs in points, rebounds (3.9 rpg), assists (3.7 apg) and free-throw percentage (.862).
