The Capital City Go-Go enjoyed one of the best seasons in franchise history in 2022-23, finishing 23-9 and establishing themselves as a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference. The team played an entertaining, high-scoring brand of basketball and regularly overwhelmed opponents with its offensive depth. Quenton Jackson emerged as one of the league’s breakout performers, earning All-NBA G League First Team honors while turning his strong play into NBA opportunities with the Washington Wizards. The Go-Go also received valuable contributions from Jay Huff, whose combination of rim protection and perimeter shooting made him one of the league’s most unique big men. Capital City carried its momentum into the postseason and reached the Eastern Conference Finals, capping a season that showcased both individual advancement and sustained team success.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Tip-Off Tournament Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Vernon Carey Jr. Primary Interior Scoring Hub (1.1) 28.1 High 22.5 9.6 1.8 1.9 94.51 Interior scorer and physical paint presence who became the Go-Go’s early offensive engine; contemporary coverage highlighted his 15-point, 13-rebound opening stretch and described the matchup value his size created inside. Blue Coats preview  
Kris Dunn Defensive Lead Guard (1.1) 25.8 High 13.8 6.1 5.8 2.7 74.98 A veteran two-way organizer whose value went beyond scoring: reporting emphasized his point-of-attack defense, length and leadership, while his Showcase Cup line paired efficient scoring with 5.8 assists and 2.7 stocks. Bullets Forever analysis  
Devon Dotson Lead Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.05) 27.4 High 13.5 4.3 6.2 0.9 62.75 Speed was the defining tool, with Dotson pushing pace and functioning as a table-setting point guard; his early Go-Go run included a 17-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double that helped earn a Wizards two-way deal. Wizards two-way report  
Jordan Schakel Movement Shooting Wing (1.05) 31.3 High 14.4 3.6 2.1 0.9 52.92 Schakel’s role centered on spacing and high-volume perimeter shooting, a continuation of the movement-shooter profile that had already made him a major three-point threat for Capital City; his two-way status also reflected the value placed on that skill set. Wizards Schakel report  
Johnny Davis Two-Way Development Guard (1.05) 25.2 Medium 11.9 4.1 2.1 1.5 45.28 Davis was being used as a developmental creator while adjusting to more responsibility than he had received in Washington; reporting specifically noted his defensive activity and his effort to become more comfortable running an offense. Johnny Davis G League report  
Jaime Echenique Low-Post Interior Anchor (1.05) 17.8 Medium 9.7 5.4 0.7 1.1 39.04 A traditional interior big whose offense was built around paint touches, physicality and screening rather than perimeter spacing; his broader Go-Go reputation was established by strong interior production and a heavy rebounding presence. Raptors HQ scouting report  
Isaiah Todd Stretch-Four Development Project (1.05) 29.9 Medium 8.8 4.7 1.2 1.1 36.50 Todd was deployed as a versatile forward with permission to stretch the floor, defend across positions and develop his offensive decision-making; contemporary analysis singled out his positional defensive versatility as particularly useful to the Go-Go. Bullets Forever Todd evaluation  
Davion Mintz Secondary Ball-Handling Guard (1.0) 22.8 Medium 9.2 3.4 3.0 0.5 35.42 Mintz operated as a secondary creator rather than the primary offensive organizer, giving the Go-Go another guard capable of handling the ball and attacking gaps while also spacing the floor. Coverage around the roster identified him as one of the newcomers brought in after Wizards training camp. Go-Go roster context  
Quenton Jackson Slashing Energy Guard (1.0) 19.7 Medium 9.6 2.8 2.0 1.3 34.54 Jackson supplied athletic downhill pressure from the reserve unit and was repeatedly described through his energy and scoring bursts; his development eventually earned him a Wizards two-way contract after his Go-Go stint. Wizards Jackson report  
Craig Sword Point-of-Attack Defensive Specialist (1.05) 20.4 Medium 7.4 2.9 1.1 1.7 27.51 Sword’s defensive identity was unusually clear for a guard: league coverage characterized him as a tough on-ball defender capable of pressuring guards and wings, while his 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks in the Showcase Cup reinforced that disruptive role.

Makur Maker Stretch-Center Development Piece (1.0) 15.1 Medium 5.2 4.3 0.4 1.3 22.40 Maker was being developed as a young big after moving from the Sydney Kings into the Wizards organization; his value in this stint came more from size, rebounding and developmental upside than from being a primary offensive option. ESPN international basketball feature  
Devontae Shuler Reserve Shot-Making Guard (1.0) 13.4 Low 7.6 1.0 1.4 0.8 21.60 Shuler’s role was largely complementary, providing a compact scoring option and secondary ball-handling without being asked to run the offense full-time; he was subsequently moved after the Showcase Cup portion of the season.

Jared Wilson-Frame Reserve Wing Shooter (1.0) 19.0 Low 6.0 2.0 0.5 1.0 19.00 Wilson-Frame entered the Go-Go as a replacement-level roster addition during a period of absences, with his prior G League résumé centered on perimeter scoring and secondary creation rather than a major featured role. Go-Go roster transaction report  
Theo John Interior Defensive Reserve (1.0) 12.4 Low 3.0 3.6 0.6 2.2 18.80 John’s minutes were primarily built around physical interior defense and rim protection rather than offensive creation; the Showcase Cup context also included an early-season role as a depth big while the Go-Go managed its frontcourt rotation.

Isaiah Mucius Developmental Stretch Forward (1.0) 7.8 Low 1.4 1.3 0.4 0.1 6.40 Mucius occupied a developmental forward role with limited minutes, offering positional size and some perimeter shooting while remaining well outside the team’s primary rotation; contemporary roster coverage identified him as a rookie addition from Wake Forest.

Blake Francis Emergency Backcourt Reserve (1.0) 5.0 Low 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.00 Francis was essentially an emergency depth guard during this stretch, initially filling in while Craig Sword was away with USA Basketball before later returning to the roster amid health-and-safety absences.

(The Washington Post)  
Vernon Carey Jr. Low-Post Scoring Centerpiece (1.1) 27.6 High 20.7 8.3 1.9 1.8 86.33 Carey was a deliberate interior scorer who had expanded his offensive range enough to hit 36.4% from three in this stretch; contemporary analysis also noted the tension between his strong G League production and concerns about whether his mobility was sufficient for an NBA defensive role. (Bullets Forever)  
Kris Dunn Defensive Floor General (1.1) 29.7 High 16.2 5.4 5.3 3.1 79.20 Dunn’s identity was built around point-of-attack defense and disruptive hands, but this season also showed more offensive control than earlier in his career; Yahoo’s retrospective highlighted improved finishing, ball handling and patience as he rebuilt his NBA case. (Yahoo Sports) NBA G League All-Defensive Team (2023)
Jay Huff Rim-Protecting Stretch Center (1.1) 24.7 High 16.3 7.7 0.9 2.0 71.02 Huff functioned as a two-way interior anchor who could punish defenses with efficient interior scoring while still stretching the floor; his defensive impact was substantial enough to earn the G League’s top defensive honor after leading the league in blocks.

Devon Dotson High-Speed Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.05) 31.7 High 14.8 4.4 6.1 1.3 67.03 Dotson’s value centered on pace, ball security and creating advantages as the primary organizer; later reporting on his Go-Go career noted a 27-point, 14-rebound, 9-assist performance and the steady development of his playmaking responsibility. (Yahoo Sports)  
Quenton Jackson Downhill Pressure Creator (1.05) 26.4 High 15.5 3.8 4.2 1.6 63.25 Jackson attacked defenses with speed and physicality rather than relying purely on jump shooting; Washington coverage specifically praised his physicality and defensive mentality when he earned his two-way opportunity, while his late-season scoring bursts showed growing offensive confidence. (The Washington Post)  
Jules Bernard Starting Two-Way Wing Creator (1.05) 28.1 High 15.3 4.6 2.3 0.8 57.96 Bernard operated as a sizeable wing scorer who could space the floor and attack closeouts, with his 25-start season reflecting sustained trust; independent coverage later pointed to his ability to contribute across scoring, rebounding and secondary playmaking. (Bullets Forever)  
Trevion Williams Passing Hub Big (1.0) 18.4 Medium 8.5 7.9 2.2 0.9 42.90 Williams brought an unusual passing element to the frontcourt, functioning as a rebounder and handoff facilitator rather than simply a screen-and-finish center; his acquisition followed a Santa Cruz stretch where he was already producing from the glass and distributing from the interior. (Capital City Go-Go)  
Johnny Davis Developmental Two-Way Wing (1.05) 26.8 Medium 11.6 3.4 1.2 1.6 41.12 Davis was being used as a developmental scorer with an emphasis on becoming more aggressive; contemporary reporting noted that he was getting downhill, finishing at the rim and gradually showing more confidence after a difficult NBA start. (Yahoo Sports)  
Davion Mintz Secondary Creation Guard (1.0) 21.6 Medium 9.3 2.4 2.0 0.7 31.68 Mintz filled the secondary-handler role, giving the Go-Go another guard who could initiate offense without carrying the entire possession burden; his seven assists in the playoff opener also illustrated the connective value he could provide when the game slowed down. (Bullets Forever)  
Craig Sword Defensive Point-of-Attack Wing (1.05) 23.2 Medium 7.9 3.8 1.2 2.1 31.50 Sword’s game remained defense-first, with pressure at the point of attack and disruptive hands shaping his rotation value; his veteran status and long G League résumé made him a stabilizing presence rather than a high-usage offensive option.  
Makur Maker Stretch-Five Development Piece (1.0) 20.6 Medium 7.5 5.6 1.0 0.9 30.00 Maker was developed as a modern big with permission to space beyond the arc, although shot selection remained an issue; independent Wizards analysis specifically viewed his three-point percentage as depressed partly by the kinds of attempts he was taking.  
Jordan Schakel Movement-Shooting Wing (1.05) 21.3 Medium 9.7 2.0 1.5 0.3 25.41 Schakel’s role was built around perimeter gravity and catch-and-shoot spacing rather than extensive self-creation; he had already established a reputation with the Go-Go as a prolific three-point shooter before being moved to Santa Cruz. (Capital City Go-Go)  
Isaiah Todd Stretch-Forward Development Project (1.0) 20.4 Medium 6.5 2.5 0.4 1.0 20.80 Todd remained a long-term developmental forward whose appeal came from size, athleticism and perimeter skill; independent Go-Go coverage had previously emphasized his ability to switch defensively while experimenting with a stretch-big role. (Bullets Forever)  
Isaiah Mucius Developmental Floor-Spacer Forward (1.0) 8.6 Low 3.6 0.9 0.2 0.2 9.80 Mucius occupied a limited developmental role, with his offensive value tied primarily to occasional perimeter shooting rather than creation; contemporary roster coverage identified him as a rookie forward entering the Go-Go system from Wake Forest. (Capital City Go-Go)  
JD Tisdale Jr. Reserve Ball-Handling Guard (1.0) 7.8 Low 2.8 0.3 1.3 0.5 9.80 Tisdale Jr. had a small role in the rotation, functioning mainly as emergency backcourt depth and a secondary ball-handler; limited independent season coverage was available beyond roster and game-level reporting.  
Theo John Interior Defensive Reserve (1.0) 9.4 Low 1.7 1.4 0.5 1.0 9.20 John supplied a physical frontcourt option whose clearest pathway to minutes was interior defense and rim protection rather than offensive creation; independent season-specific coverage was limited, so the role assessment is necessarily more cautious.

Jay Huff Defensive Anchor (1.1) 33.5 Medium (1.1) 13.5 16.0 3.0 6.0 93.17 As the Go-Go’s interior defensive centerpiece, Huff controlled the paint while also functioning as a passing hub; his 5.0 blocks and 16.0 rebounds per game matched the physical dominance noted during the playoff run, including a 20-rebound, six-assist opener against Fort Wayne. Bullets Forever — Jay Huff named to All-NBA G League First Team NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year (2023); All-NBA G League First Team (2023); All-Defensive Team (2023)
Jules Bernard Primary Wing Creator (1.1) 38.0 High (1.2) 22.5 8.0 1.5 0.5 85.80 Bernard operated as the main scoring wing and late-clock shot creator, with the Go-Go leaning on his size and ability to attack mismatches; he opened the postseason with a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double before leading the team with 25 points against Delaware. Sports Illustrated — Wizards Sign Jules Bernard to Two-Way Contract  
Devon Dotson Franchise Floor General (1.1) 41.0 High (1.2) 19.5 5.0 6.5 0.5 83.16 Dotson was the primary table-setter, repeatedly combining downhill pressure with pick-and-roll creation; his 6.5 assists reflected the ball-handling responsibility he carried across the two playoff games, including 21 points and nine assists in the opening round. Yahoo Sports — Devon Dotson’s 2023-24 season started in NBA’s G League, will conclude overseas  
Quenton Jackson Sixth Man Shot-Creator (1.05) 30.0 High (1.2) 16.5 4.0 3.0 1.5 63.00 Jackson supplied the second-unit burst, attacking aggressively rather than simply spacing the floor; his 22-point opening-round performance came entirely as a reserve, reinforcing the explosive scoring role he had established with Capital City. Washington Post — Wizards dominated Celtics behind Kristaps Porzingis, Deni Avdija  
Davion Mintz Secondary Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.05) 36.0 Medium (1.1) 9.0 4.0 5.5 0.0 42.74 Mintz served as the steady secondary organizer beside Dotson, giving the Go-Go another ball-handler without demanding the same scoring volume; his seven assists in the opening playoff win showed how his decision-making remained useful when the offense needed another initiator. Bullets Forever — Go-Go advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals  
Makur Maker Starting Stretch Big (1.05) 24.0 Medium (1.1) 8.0 8.5 1.5 0.5 38.85 Maker’s playoff value came from mobility and frontcourt versatility rather than high-volume scoring, with his ability to run the floor and protect the rim complementing Huff; he started both games and posted 8.5 rebounds while remaining a secondary offensive option. Aussie Hoopla — Makur Maker  
Craig Sword Defensive Pressure Guard (1.0) 13.5 Low (1.0) 5.0 2.0 1.0 2.5 21.00 Sword’s job was primarily disruptive perimeter defense and physical guard play rather than offensive creation, consistent with his established reputation as a defensive-minded G League guard; his 2.0 steals and 0.5 blocks per game were valuable in limited playoff minutes. Bullets Forever — Getting to know the Capital City Go-Go  
Trevion Williams Interior Playmaking Reserve (1.0) 10.0 Low (1.0) 3.0 3.0 0.5 0.0 13.00 Williams provided short stretches of interior rebounding and connective passing, fitting the reserve role he had occupied after arriving from Santa Cruz; independent coverage described him as an energy-oriented big whose rebounding could change the rhythm of a possession. CBS Sports — Trevion Williams: Double-doubles off bench  
Theo John Interior Defense Reserve (1.0) 4.5 Low (1.0) 2.0 1.0 0.0 0.5 7.00 John’s playoff role was extremely limited, but his profile was that of a physical interior defender trusted for brief frontcourt minutes; with only 4.5 minutes per game, his value came from preserving defensive size rather than creating offense.  
JD Tisdale Jr. Emergency Backcourt Reserve (1.0) 1.0 Low (1.0) 2.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.00 Tisdale saw only a one-minute appearance, leaving little room for a meaningful playoff role beyond emergency backcourt depth; the limited contemporary coverage makes a broader stylistic assessment difficult without overstating his impact.  
Isaiah Todd Developmental Stretch Forward (1.0) 8.0 Low (1.0) 0.0 1.5 0.0 0.5 4.00 Todd remained a developmental floor-spacing forward rather than a featured playoff scorer, and his brief 8.0-minute role reflected the Go-Go’s preference for established contributors in the postseason; independent reporting had emphasized his assignment-player development and shooting potential earlier in the season. German Hoops — Capital City Go-Go coaching and player development coverage  
Isaiah Mucius Stretch-Forward Depth Piece (1.0) 1.0 Low (1.0) 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.00 Mucius was essentially emergency depth during the playoff run, appearing for only one minute; earlier independent Go-Go coverage identified his developing perimeter shot as the clearest pathway to earning a larger rotation role, but there was insufficient postseason usage to establish a larger impact.
