SuperDraft: No. 11 pick proves fruitful for MLS teams

Regardless of the sport, drafts are hard to predict. For every Lebron James, there is a Michael Olowokandi. For every Peyton Manning, there is a JaMarcus Russell. And for every Bryce Harper, there is a Brien Taylor.

The same goes for Major League Soccer’s SuperDraft. With limited exposure on television, scouting college soccer is not the same as scouting college football or basketball, where the majority of games are broadcast on television every week.

Looking ahead to this year's MLS SuperDraft, Sporting Kansas City holds the No. 11 pick in the first, third and fourth round. And while hindsight is always 20-20, the history of players selected in the 11th spot bodes well for Sporting KC’s technical staff.
