There's a lot of sophomore jinx players out there as the no-longer-rookies take on more defensive responsibilities and assignments. But is there, and it's a genuine question, many examples of players that had such a drop off and then met early expectations?

Early expectations are irrelevant at this point. What matters is his value going forward.
We can trade him for X. Or we can hope that he develops into something more than X. And since X is probably not very much right now, I think we should hold on and see if he can develop into more than X.
