How do the Chicago Bulls stack up against the rest of the league now that the draft and free agency frenzy is over? Here are my current power rankings.

So far, the 2019 offseason has been unbelievable. Player movement has been off the charts (it feels like every good player is now on a different team), some good teams got better, some bad teams got good, some good teams got bad, some bad teams (somehow) got worse. This offseason has truly been one for the history books. It finally feels like the frenzy is over and things are starting to slow down. Of course, this is the NBA, so things never really “slow down.”

The Chicago Bulls were a relatively middle of the road team this offseason. They didn’t add any superstars, but they added some nice quality veterans via free agency and two promising youngsters via the draft. Did the Bulls get better this summer? Absolutely. How do they stack up against the rest of the NBA? Let’s get into it.

A lot goes into determining where teams should be ranked amongst one another. It’s just as much about player development as it is about who each team added – whether it was via trade, draft or free agency.

For example, the Bulls didn’t add any All-Stars, but could Lauri Markkanen and Zach LaVine develop into All-Stars in the 2019-2020 season? It’s definitely possible. The Lakers, on the other hand, don’t have much player development to rely on. Instead, their success will be based on how dominant LeBron James and Anthony Davis will be as a duo.

Without further ado, here are power rankings for all 30 NBA teams post draft and post free agency frenzy.
