This isn't based on his performance in the Summer League. The Nuggets used a first round pick on him and his game as elevated each year dramatically in the past few years. Kiki and the gang obviously think this guy can contribute on the roster.
I don't think he'll replace Melo either, but I think he has lots of potential, more than he gets credit for. He came into the predraft workout down 20 lbs or so and his work ethic and talent are pretty nice.
