In the latest NBA power rankings from SB Nation's Tom Ziller, the Chicago Bulls check in at No. 4. The Bulls were 2-1 last week with wins over Sacramento and Boston, plus an ugly home loss to the New Jersey Nets. Here is Ziller's comment on the Bulls:
It takes some real pluck to lose to the Nets. But hey, how about Luol Deng: Point Guard? The South Sudanese forward had back-to-back double-digit assist games this week.
