I'm a little surprised the Bulls are as bad as they are.

I'm surprised Rose is averaging less points, assists, and rebounds while averaging more turnovers. In addition, he also has a lower FG%, FT%, and 3P%.

i think we'll be a staple in the bottom two regardless of our record or how well we play or improve.

RealGm 30th
Corey Brewer was drafted so high, at least in part, because of his potential defensively. He is second in the NBA behind Rajon Rondo in steal percentage.
ESPN 28th (ahead of Phi and NJ)
Kevin Love returned from a broken hand with a flourish, but that was just the second-best thing to happen to the Wolves last week. No. 1: They're suddenly on pace for a record-avoiding 12 wins after a win over Utah.
NBA.com 29th (ahead of NJ)
Kevin Love has played just two games, but he's already got two double-doubles, twice as many threes (four) as he had last year and a win over a good team (Utah) that had won four straight. Imagine what he'll do when he starts playing normal minutes.
SI 29th (ahead of NJ)
Welcome back, Kevin Love. The Wolves' gritty power forward made his season debut last week and scored 18 points off the bench in a win over Utah. Don't expect him to make a push for the Sixth Man award though. T'wolves coach Kurt Rambis said it was likely Love would reclaim his starting spot soon.
Still average 29th

Is Rose better than Westbrook?

I wouldn't say so, and I'm beginning to think a combination of #4 Westbrook, #5 Love, and #6 Gallinari > a combination of #1 Rose, #2 Beasley, and #3 Mayo.

Why do RealGM mention completely random stats in their rankings?

Another question, if they're raking us 30th...why list a positive stat like that at all? Shouldn't the be justifying our last place finish by ripping on the plethora of bad stats they have to choose from?

They could save their staff money if they just write: They suck, but should do well in the lottery.
