To put it another way, He was the 6th pick... in a draft class that was extremely weak. That's not hindsight, it was called very weak before the draft. Speculated to be one of the weakest possibly ever but certainly in the last 10-15 years. It's been 3 years going on 4 since then. His value has gone down since he hasn't shown he can stay healthy and his improvement has been marginal. So trading a top 6-8 pick in one of the best drafts(heading in at least) for a former 6th in one of the weakest ones, whose value is also down(and 1 year left on rookie deal). Then throwing in simba as well... Little to no sense to me.
