I guess the point is being missed. Simply put, almost every team in the league has a player who was drafted in top 3. Every cup winner does. Every first round fodder does. Every bottom dweller does. The reason why only one team without a top 3 pick won a cup in last 13 years is because there have been very few such teams to begin with.
