In the interview with Bennett's coach that FDW posted up a few pages back, he remarked at how good he thought Ritchie was. He stated that practically every other prospect has at least another good player to play with, and that Ritchie did not, but was still getting decent numbers. As soon as his team acquired someone else to play with, Ritchie's numbers shot through the roof.
I'm glad that at least a few other posters are starting to read and listen to what scouting resources out there are saying about him. I still can't say he is my favorite pick at 4, but I wouldn't exactly be disappointed either. Many sites are saying he could be the best player in the draft. As for all the Kassian comparisons - not even close. Read Kassian's scouting reports and numbers (and look where he finished amongst his teammates) and compare those to Ritchie's. Night and day in every regard, other than size.
