And there's definitely something to that. But right now you could have perhaps the greatest team ever with non-lottery players from 2011 onwards...

C - Jokic (drafted 41st)
PF - Giannis (drafted 15th)
SF - Kawhi (drafted 15th)
SG - Tyrese Maxey (drafted 21st)
PG - Jalen Brunson (drafted 33rd)
Sixth Man - Norman Powell (drafted 46th)

And a lot of that comes down to those guys ending up in good organizations. Whatever fixes or tweaks are made to any sports draft system will not change bad organizations being bad. Look at the Oilers, yeah they disgustingly lucked into McDavid, but they are likely to have wasted his entire time there without any championships.
