I'll bet Durant is higher on the list compared to last year. 2nd after Lebron and even that is debatable.

Good list but Paul too high. Lucky to be in top 10. Age is a factor. Why else is Greek Freak so high?

I will stand by CP. His two-way impact on the game is enormous. He's an elite shooter and scorer, the second best passer in the league, and maybe the best pure point guard defender. Giannis is another two-way impact guy. He can score, pass, protect the rim, and defend the perimeter. If I had to pick one at 10, it'd be Isaiah due to his ludicrous efficiency, but Giannis does just about everything on the court.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

Do you mean building a team for 1 year?
Or drafting on a 5 year contract?

Lebron
Durant
Curry
Kawai
Anthony Davis
Harden
Westbrook
Chris Paul

Then a cluster for the last two:
Gobert, Butler, Giannis, Jokic, Draymond.

TP.  Good list; good question.  I guess I'll go with "building a team for one year," that year being the 2017-2018 season.

1. James
2. Durant
3. Leonard
4. Westbrook
5. Davis
6. Curry
7. George
8. Harden
9. Antetokounmpo
10. Cousins

Harden is just so bad defensively I couldn't put him higher, though offensively you could argue him at 1 (given his scoring, assists, and efficiency). 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip
