Bulls in the NBA Player Rankings

The Bulls were one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference last season, but individually, how well to their players match up against the rest of the league? Well, according to CBS Sportsine, the Bulls have two players in the top 25 of the NBA. Luol Deng was ranked by this particular system as the number 13, and Ben Gordon was named the 22nd best player in the league.

Position-wise, Kirk Hinrich was the 8th best guard last season, and Ben Wallace was the tenth best center. Power forward was the worst position by far, with P.J. Brown ranked as the 41st best at his position, and Tyrus Thomas as the number 47th. Of course, it will be fun to see how the player rankings work out next year. They predict the relative strength of a team by adding up the player rankings of their starters and then averaging it out. The Bulls were 6th overall as a team, the second best team in the East after the Pistons. The Bulls look pretty solid all around, and have improved at their weakest position over the off-season.
