SUPERDRAFT MLS 2017

La MLS si prepara al primo evento dell’anno solare e sportivo con il Superdraft del 2017 che si terrà il 13 gennaio alle 3 di notte a Los Angeles, California.

SUPERDRAFT MLS 2017: VIA IL 13 GENNAIO

Il procedimento è lo stesso del Draft NBA, con le squadre di MLS che pescano i migliori giocatori dei vari college seguendo l’ordine di scelta preciso; i primi a prendere il listone degli svincolati in mano saranno gli ultimi classificati per poi proseguire sino ai vincitori de Seattle, prendendo in considerazione la classifica della stagione precedente. L’ultima classificata sceglie per prima e via dicendo per più giri. Ci sono tanti giovani da poter mettere sotto contratto. Tra i nomi più caldi c’è quello del difensore centrale dei Syracuse, Miles Robinson che sarebbe la ventesima scelta del primo round. I New England Revolution starebbero però cercando di anticipare i tempi e starebbero pensando di acquistarlo senza passare per il Draft.
Importante in questo contesto è il ruolo che reciteranno i team che definiscono l’Expansion Program: Atlanta FC e Minnesota avranno i primi posti per la scelta dell Draft per consentirli di avere la possibilità di essere favorite nella nascita/ crescita
