The Grizzlies took UCLA shooting guard Jordan Adams with their first round pick, but it was the team's second round pick that energized the Memphis fanbase.

Memphis started the night without a second round selection, but traded a 2016 second rounder to the Utah Jazz for the 35th pick, Jarnell Stokes. Stokes played power forward at the University of Tennessee, but before that was a star at Southwind High School in Memphis.

While fans are thrilled with the Stokes pick, because he's a hometown kid, he also has the tools to fill the need for a quality backup power forward. With Ed Davis becoming a costless agent this summer, the Grizzlies will likely only have Stokes, Kosta Koufos and the seldom-used Jon Leuer to backup Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol next season.

Stokes averaged 15.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game at Tennessee last year, and with an NBA-ready body and three college seasons under his belt he'll likely be able to contribute immediately. Stokes is a little bit undersized at 6'8", but has a tremendous motor  and a knack for grabbing rebounds on both sides of the floor. His offensive game isn't outstanding, but he's one of the strongest players in the draft and can score in the paint.

The Jarnell Stokes selection makes a lot of sense when considering the team's needs. However, that cannot be said for Jordan Adams.

Adams is a 6'5" sophomore shooting guard out of UCLA, but playing time may be hard to come by with the Grizzlies already having Tony Allen and Courtney Lee taking most of the minutes at that position, as well as 2013 second-rounder Jamaal Franklin.

With Stokes taking care of the reserve big man problem, the Grizzlies' biggest needs were adding more athleticism, more shooting, and picking up another backup point guard.

Adams is considered one of the worst athletes in the draft, with a 29.5 inch max vertical — tied for worst at the combine this May. Adams is a decent shooter who upped his three-point percentage to 35 percent from the shorter college arc last season, but he probably isn't a guy you can count on for long range shots on a consistent basis. He wasn't really a point guard at UCLA, averaging 2.3 assists in 30 minutes per game for the Bruins, but Memphis may attempt to teach him to play the position.

While he may not fill a lot of needs, it is not necessarily a wasted pick. Adams is a good player that can flat out score, averaging 17 points on an efficient 48 percent shooting in his sophomore season, but it's a little confusing why he was drafted instead of Rodney Hood or Shabazz Napier who are both big-time scorers like Adams but can also fill some of Memphis' more glaring holes.
