Can you find quality players in the SuperDraft anymore? Do the New York Red Bulls still have Denis Hamlett in charge of draft affairs? Exactly how much value does GAM have anymore these days?
All these questions were raised and not really answered on Tuesday afternoon’s Major League Soccer SuperDraft. Despite the general decline in the draft’s importance to league activity (to the point that it had become a virtual broadcast rather than an in-person event even before the pandemic) the Red Bulls have remained one of the busier operators in it. Tuesday was no different as the club were one of the draft’s main movers, shakers and attention-grabbers in a variety of characteristic ways.
