Watching this playoffs has affirmed for me that LeBron is no longer the comfortable #1 wing in the league. If anything, I actually think he's worse than all these 3, but I know a few posters love him so I've included him.

After thinking about it for 5 minutes I'm still none the wiser as to who I'd pick

I think I'd go with Giannis, but you would have to have the right team around him.

Yeah for sure. Helps that we've seen him a lot this season.

For me I'd go Kawhi. DPOY level defence and can get you 25-30 + 6-10 rebounds a game with elite efficiency. I just feel like he needs a better team around him and a coach that is willing to use his big men correctly

Lebrons too old to build around. I think everyone can agree at this point he's Robin not batman

I'd pick Kawhi, he's the type of low key superstar who'd be great to build around, plus his two way play separates him from other great wings imo.

Durant is the current best player of this group but Kawhi has more years left so I'd build around him.

Kawhi. A fundamentally sound defender with a versatile offensive set. Proven to be able to fit on any system and a proven champion.

Durant is the next thing but he have yet to prove he can instantly turn teams into championship material. His stint with GSW put alot of asterisk on his resume.

 Does this team win a title if they played together for four years?

 Miles Turner

The poll states for ONE season only. So I picked Durant.

If it's long-term, Giannis is a no-brainer.

Durant is the best right now but if I was building a team for the long term I'd go with giannis.

Father Time is coming for LeBron and if last year is any inclination it is going to be ugly...
