Utah Jazz draft strategy for Idaho Stampede may reveal eventual end game. Also no Jimmer Fredette.

The Utah Jazz own the Idaho Stampede in addition to being one of the 17 NBA teams that have single-team affiliation with an NBA Development League franchise. Last season the Jazz had a lot of injuries and called up a number of NBADL players -- this time in a surprise move some of them actually came from their affiliate (Jack Cooley, Jerrelle Benimon). Usually the Jazz just snipe the best NBADL players from other clubs, and have done so in the past with examples like Sundiata Gaines, Othyus Jeffers, Travis Leslie, and last season Elijah Millsap.
