JJ Williams goes to Philadelphia Union in MLS Mock Draft

Like the actual MLS SuperDraft, the mock draft we run every year with our friends at the other SB Nation sites that cover MLS teams is hard to predict.

I went into the draft ready to select Logan Gdula with the Philadelphia Union’s 13th pick but when I saw that JJ Williams was still available I decided I couldn’t pass over a player who is arguably one of the top prospects in this year’s draft pool and who also happens to be a Reading United alum.

A target forward from Alabama, Williams had a break-out season in Kentucky pairing with Union Academy grad Kalil ElMedkhar in the attack.
