Build a team with the best chance of winning at least 1 playoff off game this year. Assume #1 seed in the east. Use http://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft for draft rankings.

Pick 1 current NBA star

Pick 1 top five draft prospect

Pick 1 non top 5 lottery prospect

Pick 1 second round pick


Example

Pick 1 current NBA star: Lebron

Pick 1 top five draft prospect: Doncic

Pick 1 non top 5 lottery(6-14) prospect: Sexton

Pick 4 non lottery draft prospects: Robert Williams, Keita Bates-Diop, Jontay Porter, Khyri Thomas

Pick 1 second round pick: Grayson Allen

Lineup

PG Sexton
SG Thomas
SF Doncic
PF Lebron
C  Williams

6th Bates-Diop

I'll take Lebron, Deandre Ayton, Trae Young, Robert Williams, Gary Trent Jr, Khyri Thomas, Keita Bates-Diop, and Chimeze Metu. I think that team can win a game against the Heat or Bucks.

Young / Thomas
Trent
Lebron / Bates-Diop
Williams
Ayton / Metu

I like the Allen pick.  Have Allen p--- off the best player on the other team so much that he gets ejected for throwing a punch and you might get a W.

No way Lebron and a bunch of prospects make the playoffs nevermind win a game. Better off judt trying to make a team of the future, in which your NBA pkayer could be really young and grow with the team.

The OP did say assume you have the #1 seed in the east already, and just win one playoff game. Odd rules, but if we are playing by them, I really don't think my team would get swept by the Heat or Bucks.

I mean look at the guys Lebron is playing with right now. Their last game had George Hill, Jeff Green, Jose Calderon, and Ante Zizic start next to him. Off the bench was Clarkson, John Holland, Smith, and Perrantes. That is a terrible group around him, and I don't think anyone thinks they would get swept first round against an 8 seed, even if their injured guys don't come back.
