What about Ritchie last year after he got traded from Toronto? 0.58 vs Crouse's 0.523 and Crouse was the one who was in a contract year. So, there's no reason to think that Crouse would do better in a the tougher environment when he isn't doing better than Ritchie in their current one, especially when he's coming in as a 4m player vs Ritchie who was being paid 2m. The expectations will be higher.

Crouse got extended because ARZ needs to reach the cap floor, and obviously him being a high 1st round pick they aren't going to give up on him. They will hope to make him look like a great player so that his contract is a good one, and then he will be Chychrun 2.0 or so they hope.
