Overall, the sixth pick in the MLS SuperDraft had a pretty solid season coming off the bench for the Philadelphia Union. Fabian Herbers managed to put away three goals and supply seven assists in MLS this year, which is solid production from a rookie who came off of the bench for most of the season. The fact that Herbers was the Union's assist leader is encouraging, but also troubling because a backup forward should probably not be leading any decent team in assists. Jim Curtin utilized the Ahaus, Germany native heavily as a substitute forward, putting him in at the end of games as a change of pace option to try and make something happen going forward.
