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

Hmmm, looks like it's just the 2nd rounder. DesNews beat writer confirms:

The Jazz simply traded 35th pick Jarnell Stokes to Memphis for the Grizzlies' 2016 second-round pick. That's it.

Chad's twitter says 2nd rounder.

I haven't seen any 1st round stuff.
 
I couldn't understand it at first, but then I thought about the humanity and class of it. Yes, we could have drafted miciic and stashed him, or someone else and sent them to the Dleague, but is that the best thing for them? Stokes was wanted by Memphis. Someone wants him to play in the NBA. In a weird way, I am kind of glad that the Jazz aren't messing with or stunting someone's career by stashing them because they think they have enough young players.

A hgh 2nd rd pick in a deep deep draft for a likely crap second rd pick in a normal draft seems like crap value, but it will be our 3rd 2nd rder that year. Couple those 3 w/ our 1st rder that year, and we could have some assetts to package. Obviously a 1st rder would have been better, but I refuse to be mad about this draft.

we got Dante Exum, and Rodney Hood w/o Spending a Dime!!!!
 
F- on this trade. There were some players with GREAT potential on the board at 35. It's not like the Jazz don't have roster space. Oh, I forgot we have to return some old favor to JLII and keep his son on the team. My favorites were Tavares, Clarkson - even Corey Jefferson. Why do the Spurs always hit it out the park with their 30th and 60th picks?
 
This explains it, kind of what I assumed:

Regarding that second-round trade, the Jazz simply didn't want to bring in three rookies and that Memphis deal was the best they could get.

Again, Tavares does nothing to our roster for a year at the earliest and we get the rights to a freak. Doesn't develop? Oh well.
 
I think the Jazz FO expected to use that 35th pick in a package to trade up, but ended up not needing to move up. So they viewed it as gravy and looked to deal it and couldn't get anything better than what Memphis offered. Sucks we couldn't get decent value for it, but oh well. I guess this draft is an A++ instead of an A+++.

Then why can't DL just draft an international player? Still makes no sense.
