Not really. I mean, if you were to show no correlation that might disprove it but I suspect there is a correlation. The issue here is time order: bad teams use more players than good ones because they aren't as interested in optimizing their roster to win games. I'm not sure how you would control for that, as it seems to be intrinsically linked to wins and losses.
