2011 MLS Draft, Live Coverage: Sporting Kansas City Selects CJ Sapong With No. 10 Pick

CJ Sapong did not get a lot of attention while playing at James Madison University, but putting up numbers like he did proved too difficult for Sporting Kansas City to ignore. The former Wizards took the 6-foot-1, 185-pound forward with the No. 10 overall pick.

Whether or not he’s allowed to play right away, SKC no doubt has visions of Sapong forming a longterm partnership with Teal Bunbury. Sapong scored 37 goals during his four-year college career, including 12 goals and nine assists in just 18 games his senior year. Sapong continued to impress at the combine, where he was lauded as one of the top players.
