Impact of Reserve Teams on MLS SuperDraft

The recent additions of MLS reserve teams have had an impact on the late round draftees of the MLS SuperDraft. Here's a look at that effect.

On Tuesday the 2016 MLS SuperDraft will continue with the third and fourth rounds. It will be just the second time there has been a fourth round of the draft since 2010, when the draft was reduced from four to three rounds.

Until recently, two rounds of the draft were more than enough. Rarely does a player get drafted beyond the second round and stick with the team that drafted him for more than two seasons.
