60% of it is upside, the chance he outplays his projection of 15.2 a game; the projection alone is worth the other 40%. Other sites that price him lower are usually pricing that upside lower. The projection weighs this season's 19.0 a game over 7 games against last season's 14.3 and his draft slot, giving less weight to last season when his role has grown, and it moves as the games pile up.
