Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. An elementary fallacy. You have not shown, but merely asserted, that those teams have had success because they had high draft picks. The fact that many other teams have had the high picks but not the success argues against you.

Over 90% of the teams in the league have had top-3 draft picks. Of course most of the successful teams will be found in that group. So will most of the unsuccessful teams. It means jack squat.
