26. Chicago Bulls (3-8)

Last week: 29

You might be asking, why did the Chicago Bulls make a jump in this week’s NBA Power Rankings? Well, it’s actually quite simple. The rest of the players under them have been even worse than Chicago has this week, if that’s even possible.

Chicago has been decimated by injuries in the young campaign, and that’s one of the biggest reasons why they’ve only accounted for two wins in their first 10 games. But, this is definitely going to get a bit uglier than it gets better for the Bulls.

It’s safe to predict that we won’t see the real Bulls until the second half of the season, because one those injuries. It’s going to be hard to gauge whether this group of players will work because of that, but that’s a different story for another day.
