LAFC facing a difficult decision with top pick in 2018 MLS draft

The MLS expansion team has the first overall pick in Friday's MLS draft and there's no clear-cut top choice, which could lead to a trade

PHILADELPHIA — When the Los Angeles FC technical staff went to the 2018 MLS combine in Orlando this past week, the hope was that a player would emerge from the pack to make the expansion team's decision with the first pick in Friday's MLS SuperDraft an easy one.

If anything, the combine only made LAFC's decision more difficult, with sources telling Goal that Bob Bradley and his staff are far from any sort of consensus on who to select, or even if the pick should be retained or traded.
