Chicago Bulls
Record: 5-17
Grade: D-
There are caveats when it comes to analyzing the first quarter of the season for the Chicago Bulls. For one, they’ve been decimated by injuries throughout this season, so we have to take that into consideration when we grade them.
At the same time, one of their biggest signings from the offseason seems to be struggling. Jabari Parker was supposed to be a big piece to the puzzle for the Bulls. So far this season, Parker is averaging 17 points and seven rebounds on career lows in shooting – 45 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point range.
He’s also been one of the worst players on the defensive end of the floor too. The good news is Zach LaVine has been good this season. Unfortunately, it hasn’t resulted in wins.
