Yet 12% of those Cup-winning teams did NOT have a top-3 pick. How do you explain that? By your theory, they should have won nothing.
The fact is, MOST teams, winners and losers alike, have at least one top-3 pick on the roster. It's irrelevant to winning. It's no truer than the old superstition that teams with European captains couldn't win the Stanley Cup, which was formed in the days when hardly any NHL teams had European captains. Well, if you eliminate 90% of the teams from consideration, you'll probably eliminate 90% of the championships, too. That's how these things work – when there is no correlation.

Nothing to do with what I said, but you cling to that narrative and ignore everything else. You appear to be good at that.
