Raptors come in at number 18 on Zach Lowe's League Pass Rankings

But they're tied with Milwaukee. And Lowe can't resist dropping some other interesting bits of info.

As is now tradition, Zach Lowe published the first part of his League Pass Rankings today at Grantland. The list is a fun way to rank the teams of the NBA in terms of aesthetics and watchability, instead of by purely competitive metrics. Unfortunately, the rankings put the Raptors just outside of the bottom third of the league at number 18. Insult to injury: Toronto is tied with Milwaukee for the honour.

To his credit, Lowe does point out the pure entertainment value of new skinny Kyle Lowry:

Skinny Kyle Lowry tore through preseason like some combination of Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas; he has literally found another gear and he's zipping by help defenders who cut him off just last season.
