15. Pierre Da Silva, Orlando City B

The U.S. U19 international was signed this preseason from Orlando’s Academy, and has quickly stepped his game up to the professional ranks to help OCB grow progressively stronger as its inaugural season has gone on. Da Silva leads Orlando with four assists and has also notched a pair of goals in 14 appearances this season to put the side in the conversation for a place in the playoffs.

If there’s a developmental blind spot in the U.S. in developing dangerous wingers, Pierre Da Silva is an answer to it. Over the last few years, Da Silva has grown into his own as a difficult-to-track wide player who can devastate defenses pinching in on the U.S. youth national team level. Think Angel Di Maria. When Orlando City scooped him up into their nascent USL side, he immediately became one of the cornerstones of their setup. Fast, capable on the ball and comfortable in one-on-one situations, Da Silva at least partially came of age in difficult national team matches against high-end talent. That should serve him well on the professional level.
