With the 35th Pick... Jarnell Stokes (traded)

[mdalby]

Are we sure it is for a 2nd round pick. Chad Ford says it is for a 2016 first round pick...

Utah
(Rights traded to Grizzlies)
Jarnell Stokes 6-9 262 PF
Tennessee

Analysis:
The Jazz will send Stokes to the Grizzlies for a 2016 first-round pick. Stokes was another guy who ranked very high in analytics models. Clearly, the Grizzlies are still watching the numbers. He can really rebound, and his numbers were almost identical to Julius Randle's last season.

Complete guess... They send us cash and let us know they won't be matching an offer on Ed Davis. If we sign Ed Davis I am assuming this is what happened. We were way too nice here. I understand we couldn't bring in3 rookies to an already young team but you gotta make best use of all assets.

Explain. What rule changes?

If they make kids stay in college for 2 years like apparently Adam Silver wants. In response the top prospects in the 2017 draft will reclassify up a year into this 2016 draft, to potentially miss the cutoff.

Thon Maker (a top '16 player) already has said he will decide on this in December. Also the 2017 draft looks absolutely LOADED, I could legitimately see an Exodus from 2017 into 2016 happening.

Caleb Swanigan the 13th ranked prospect by Rivals in the HS class of 2016 has already made the jump to 2015.

If its for a 1st round pick I really like this trade. What a draft!!!

They have traded their 2015 pick so can't trade 216 first. They own Toronto and Boston 2nd round picks in 2016... My guess is we get the better of those picks. They already traded their own 2016 2nd.

That changes EVERYTHING!
But it makes sense. Memphis' pick will be in the 20's in a weaker draft.

 

[Avery]

I'm confused as according to NBA.com, it's for Memphis 2015 2nd rounder, not 2016.

 

[kabenac]

In the Jazzfanz chat I said we should get two 2nd round picks or a 1st. I hope so!

 

[JAZZGASM]

I'm confused as according to NBA.com, it's for Memphis 2015 2nd rounder, not 2016.

During the live draft they said 2016 2nd rd pick.

 

[HighlandHomie]

Need to get more than a second rounder, losing value, especially as deep as the draft is this year.

No - Jazz don't want to have to sign another guy. It's a smart move in terms of a little extra flexibility this offseason...

Again, second rounders aren't guaranteed contracts!

His Twitter feed is saying second rounder:
