Zach Lowe is one of the most respected basketball writers on the planet. Although Bill Simmons is no longer running the ESPN-affiliated Grantland website, Lowe maintained his position as a contributor at the site and continues to deliver fantastic pieces on the game of basketball.
Each season, Grantland ranks all 30 NBA teams using a different type of scale. In last season’s rankings, Lowe (and Simmons before his departure) ranked the Chicago Bulls sixth behind Dallas, San Antonio, Golden State, Los Angeles (Clippers) and Cleveland.
This season, Lowe ranked all 30 NBA teams in Grantland’s “League Pass Rankings” in five categories on a 50-point scale (0-10 in each category, 50 points is the max score).
