LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The first two rounds of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft are in the books and the Portland Timbers made a trade to move up in the first round to take standout attacking player Jeremy Ebobisse with the fourth overall pick and then grabbing UCLA defender Michael Amick with the 10th pick of the second round.
Shortly after New York City FC selected Jonathan Lewis with the third pick, the Timbers traded their 10th overall selection, along with $100,000 in general allocation money and a 2017 international roster spot to the Houston Dynamo to move up to the fourth spot.
