MLS Draft 2015: It’s time to make the picks in Philadelphia

All 20 teams are in Philadelphia and they’re ready for the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. The best players from college, and a few from elsewhere, are waiting to be picked and begin their professional careers.

This year’s doesn’t have quite the same excitement as there has been in past years. Part of that is because the homegrown player rule has taken some of the best prospects from the draft. The looming CBA negotiations play a part as well, as this is the smallest Generation adidas classes ever because so many players want to see how things change once there is a new CBA.

Traditionally, the MLS SuperDraft has been televised, but that won’t be the case in 2015. Instead, fans can only watch on a live stream.

The 20 MLS teams will take turns picking the best of the draft eligible talent beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET. That is all of the players, predominantly from the U.S. and American colleges, who are not from MLS academies and have not yet signed homegrown contracts.
