75% of it is what he's projected to score (17.8 a game, aged season by season) and 25% is upside, the chance he does better. The projection weighs this season's 20.7 a game over 7 games against last season's 17.0 and his draft slot, giving less weight to last season when his role has grown, and it moves as the games pile up.
