Especially when he's stated they'd like to have Jax back, but would also like an explosive athlete at guard who can defend & get to the rim (which isn't really Jax).
AND they (not saying I agree with them, if true) seem to value a high-end athlete like this French kid above what they see in Noah. And even I can plainly see as valuable as Noah is as a mismatch player, our roster needs a versatile low-post player like Berke on it even more. Perhaps even more than we needed Keita.
With where the schollie count is right now — I really hope Noah gets what he wants. Particularly if what he ideally wants is to stay in Provo.
