The MLS SuperDraft is an increasingly imperfect mechanism for the league’s clubs to acquire younger talent, but it is still an event that draws attention to itself. It is rare to see every team in MLS make player acquisitions that hint at their current and future personnel and tactical plans. Even rarer is the MLS SuperDraft being worth watching for no other reason than one of the draftees said something worth hearing - but that is what we got this year, when the New York Red Bulls’ first round selection, Zeiko Lewis, walked up to the podium and told almost every other team in the league that he would make them regret the decision to let his talent fall all the way down to the 17th overall pick.
