I think it largely depends on how much Melo can continue to develop.    He is already starting to look like a beast on defense and showing flashes on offense.   One thing I saw from Melo that really impressed me was a play where he flashed out to get a hand in the face of a defender on the baseline, the ball came back (I think it was an offensive rebound, but my brain is foggy) to a UF player on the opposite side of the lane and Melo recovered in time to get block the shot.   He was called for goal tending, but the fact that he made the recovery that quickly impressed the hell out of me.

In my view, we need Melo to be a consistent low post threat in order for this team to reach its potential.   I don't think any of the other forwards provide that at this point.    I think we need to be able to get the ball inside and score it if we are truly going to be good.   Given UF's makeup we should have been able to do this more last night, but our offense really looked stagnant at times in the second half --  100% perimeter oriented.
