The Capital City Go-Go emerged as one of the Eastern Conference’s strongest teams in 2024-25, turning a talented and well-balanced roster into a deep playoff run. Jaylen Nowell was one of the league’s premier offensive players, regularly producing big scoring performances and giving the Go-Go a reliable late-game option. The team also benefited from the continued development of Jules Bernard, whose strong season earned him an NBA opportunity with the Washington Wizards, while veterans and Wizards affiliates provided additional depth throughout the year. Rather than relying on a single star, Capital City succeeded with a dynamic offense and a rotation capable of absorbing the constant roster changes that define the G League. The Go-Go carried that consistency into the postseason, advancing to the NBA G League Finals and completing one of the most successful seasons in franchise history.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jaylen Nowell | Primary Offensive Engine (1.1) | 34.8 | High | 27.2 | 4.8 | 4.5 | 0.8 | 98.47 | A downhill scoring guard who carried a major shot-creation burden for Capital City, Nowell also functioned as a secondary playmaker rather than simply hunting shots. His 25.1 points and 5.3 assists before his NBA call-up drew attention locally, while his 43-point outing showed the kind of offensive ceiling that eventually earned him a 10-day contract. Nowell’s Wizards opportunity and Go-Go production | All-NBA G League First Team (2025); G League Up Next selection (2025) |
| Justin Champagnie | Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) | 36.5 | High | 20.0 | 8.9 | 3.1 | 3.1 | 88.45 | A physical two-way wing who expanded beyond a spot-up role, Champagnie combined perimeter shooting with hard rebounding and active off-ball movement. His persistence through the Wizards’ two-way system ultimately produced a standard contract, with contemporary coverage emphasizing the work and versatility behind his breakthrough. Champagnie’s breakthrough with Washington | G League Up Next selection (2025) |
| RJ Nembhard Jr. | Lead Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.05) | 31.6 | High | 16.6 | 6.5 | 5.5 | 1.1 | 74.84 | A ball-dominant initiator with enough size to rebound and defend bigger guards, Nembhard was one of Capital City’s connective pieces between scoring and creation. His 5.5 assists alongside 6.5 rebounds point to a broader offensive responsibility than a conventional scoring guard, while his strong shooting efficiency made the ball-screen game particularly valuable. | |
| Erik Stevenson | Volume Perimeter Scorer (1.05) | 25.9 | High | 19.1 | 4.1 | 3.1 | 1.3 | 69.55 | A high-energy perimeter gunner, Stevenson supplied bench scoring without needing a starting assignment. Contemporary G League coverage highlighted his ability to generate offense in reserve minutes, including 15 games with 20-plus points before his February NBA call-up; he was also selected for the G League Up Next event. Stevenson’s G League scoring role and NBA call-up | G League Up Next selection (2025) |
| Jalen McDaniels | Starting Two-Way Forward (1.05) | 29.9 | Medium | 12.3 | 7.0 | 1.8 | 1.9 | 53.13 | A rangy forward used as a defensive matchup piece and interior rebounder, McDaniels gave Capital City size without completely sacrificing perimeter skill. Reporting around his return to the G League stressed the difficulty he had finding an offensive niche in Toronto, making his expanded Go-Go role an opportunity to rebuild his NBA value. McDaniels’ return to the G League and projected role | |
| Taylor Funk | Stretch-Four Floor Spacer (1.05) | 31.8 | Medium | 11.5 | 6.2 | 3.3 | 1.6 | 52.21 | A spacing-oriented forward who could slide between the wing and frontcourt, Funk stretched defenses with high-volume three-point shooting while still contributing on the glass. His bench scoring burst against Cleveland, including 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting, illustrated how quickly his shooting could change a game when his release was falling. Capital City’s January win over Cleveland and Funk’s scoring burst | |
| Michael Foster Jr. | Mobile Interior Scorer (1.05) | 20.8 | Medium | 12.1 | 5.5 | 1.9 | 1.4 | 48.28 | A mobile frontcourt scorer with enough touch to step outside, Foster’s value came from combining interior finishing with activity around the glass. His development path remained centered on the G League, where he had already shown a willingness to attack the rim and protect the basket rather than functioning as a stationary big. Foster’s development path and G League role | |
| Mouhamadou Gueye | Defensive Rover Big (1.05) | 25.6 | Medium | 10.3 | 5.8 | 1.5 | 2.0 | 45.28 | A rangy defensive rover, Gueye used length and athleticism to contest the paint while also finishing above the rim. Raptors Republic specifically noted his ability to use that length for lobs and paint defense, which fits the two-way role reflected by his 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per game in this sample. Gueye’s length and defensive impact against Toronto’s affiliate | |
| Kira Lewis Jr. | Change-of-Pace Lead Guard (1.05) | 20.2 | Medium | 10.2 | 2.7 | 3.3 | 1.3 | 40.43 | A speed-based creator, Lewis supplied live-dribble penetration and could turn the corner before defenses were set. Independent coverage noted his flashes of high-end athleticism while also identifying shooting as the major swing skill, which helps explain a role built more around pressure and creation than perimeter gravity. Lewis’ athleticism and shooting questions | |
| Johnny Davis | Emergency Shot-Creation Guard (1.0) | 28.0 | Low | 16.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 38.00 | With only one game in the supplied sample, Davis functioned more as a situational scoring option than an established rotation centerpiece. Limited contemporary independent coverage was available for this specific Go-Go stint, so the role is best treated cautiously rather than extrapolated from his earlier NBA experience. | |
| John Butler | Rim-Protecting Stretch Center (1.0) | 30.4 | Medium | 8.4 | 4.1 | 0.6 | 2.5 | 34.32 | A seven-footer whose defensive value came primarily through length and shot blocking, Butler also had enough perimeter skill to occupy opposing bigs away from the rim. His eventual G League trade reflected how his role remained developmental, while his franchise-leading block total underscored the defensive specialty that defined his time with Capital City. Butler’s G League role and franchise blocking record | |
| Tristan Vukcevic | Stretch Development Big (1.0) | 16.0 | Low | 12.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 0.0 | 30.00 | A perimeter-oriented big still being developed within Washington’s system, Vukcevic was used sparingly in this sample but offered a combination of size, shooting range and passing uncommon for a young center. Later reporting continued to describe him as a scoring specialist who spent substantial time balancing NBA and Go-Go responsibilities. Vukcevic’s developmental role in Washington’s system | |
| Leaky Black | Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) | 23.1 | Low | 6.3 | 4.3 | 1.6 | 1.5 | 30.14 | A defense-first wing who earned minutes through versatility, Black’s contribution was less about volume scoring and more about guarding multiple positions, rebounding and making connective plays. Contemporary evaluation of his two-way game highlighted his defensive activity and work on the glass even when his jumper was inconsistent. Black’s defensive and rebounding impact | |
| DJ Rodman | Energy Rebounding Wing (1.0) | 13.0 | Low | 2.7 | 3.0 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 13.00 | An energy-oriented wing rather than a primary offensive option, Rodman was valued for his size, rebounding instincts and willingness to play physically. Independent reporting later noted that most of his 2024-25 professional workload came in the G League, following his selection by Capital City in the G League Draft. Rodman’s G League path during 2024-25 | |
| Jayden Hardaway | Deep Reserve Guard (1.0) | 2.5 | Low | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.00 | A deep developmental reserve with virtually no offensive sample in the supplied regular-season data, Hardaway’s role was primarily roster depth rather than a consistent rotation assignment. Limited contemporary independent coverage was available for his specific Go-Go stint, so there is little basis for assigning a larger on-court responsibility. |

| Jaylen Nowell | Primary Offensive Engine (1.1) | 34.6 | High (1.2) | 24.0 | 4.2 | 5.7 | 1.5 | 93.46 | A primary on-ball creator, Nowell was the Go-Go’s offensive release valve, combining three-level scoring with enough passing to punish aggressive coverage. His 43-point, eight-three game in February underscored the scoring ceiling that earned him G League Player of the Week honors, while contemporary reporting also noted how often he carried the offense before his NBA call-up. Washington Post coverage of Nowell’s breakout | NBA G League Player of the Week (2025); NBA G League Up Next selection (2025) |
| Jared Butler | Lead Shot-Creation Guard (1.05) | 30.5 | High (1.2) | 22.5 | 4.0 | 6.0 | 1.0 | 88.44 | A compact lead guard whose value centered on pick-and-roll creation and decision-making, Butler’s two-game sample came during a period when Washington ultimately traded him to Philadelphia. The timing matters: his NBA role had been squeezed, but his G League appearances showed why he remained viewed as a capable ball-handler and secondary scoring option. Yahoo Sports report on Butler’s 2025 trade | |
| RJ Nembhard Jr. | Primary Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.05) | 33.0 | High (1.2) | 17.2 | 5.8 | 6.9 | 0.9 | 77.62 | A big-bodied initiator, Nembhard operated as one of Capital City’s main organizers, using his size to get into the lane while also supplying secondary rebounding. Early-season independent coverage described him as part of the Go-Go’s productive bench scoring group, and his eight-assist, five-steal performance against Cleveland showed how disruptive his all-around guard play could become. Raptors Republic’s early Go-Go coverage | |
| AJ Johnson | Developmental Lead Guard (1.05) | 29.8 | High (1.2) | 16.4 | 3.4 | 4.6 | 1.4 | 65.02 | A young attacking guard, Johnson was encouraged to play fast and pressure the defense rather than simply stand in the corner. Wizards coach Brian Keefe specifically praised his speed, vision and shooting after Johnson’s first two Go-Go games, a useful snapshot of the offensive traits Washington wanted him to develop. Yahoo Sports report on Johnson’s G League stint | |
| Tristan Vukcevic | Stretch-Five Scoring Big (1.05) | 22.1 | Medium (1.1) | 15.9 | 6.1 | 2.1 | 2.3 | 60.98 | A modern stretch big, Vukcevic was used to pull opposing centers away from the paint while still providing size around the basket. His development was closely tied to balancing G League reps with NBA opportunities, and his later three-year Wizards contract reflected the organization viewing that skill combination as worth continuing to develop. Sports Illustrated’s Vukcevic coverage | |
| Jalen McDaniels | Starting Two-Way Forward (1.05) | 30.6 | Medium (1.1) | 13.9 | 7.2 | 2.6 | 1.8 | 58.91 | A rangy forward used to cover ground defensively and clean up possessions on the glass, McDaniels became an important interior presence after joining Capital City. Independent game coverage highlighted a 21-point, 16-rebound performance, while his eventual NBA call-up reflected the value of giving a proven NBA wing-forward a larger developmental workload. Maine Celtics coverage of McDaniels’ Go-Go matchup | |
| Kent Bazemore | Veteran Two-Way Mentor (1.0) | 26.3 | Medium (1.1) | 16.3 | 5.7 | 2.7 | 2.0 | 58.74 | A veteran wing with a defensive background, Bazemore brought experience and physical perimeter play to a very young G League environment. His three-game sample was small, but the workload was substantial, suggesting Capital City used him as an experienced stabilizer rather than a developmental project. RealGM’s 2025 transaction coverage | |
| Patrick Baldwin Jr. | Stretch Forward Creator (1.05) | 27.3 | Medium (1.1) | 15.0 | 6.0 | 1.6 | 2.2 | 57.29 | A tall perimeter scorer, Baldwin was given room to operate as more than a stationary shooter during his Go-Go stint. Contemporary reporting noted a 28-point performance against Wisconsin and described his G League work as part of a broader attempt to re-establish his offensive value after limited NBA minutes. San Diego Union-Tribune coverage of Baldwin’s G League move | |
| JT Thor | Mobile Stretch Forward (1.05) | 29.0 | Medium (1.1) | 15.0 | 4.6 | 2.0 | 2.6 | 55.90 | A mobile forward who can space the floor and protect the rim, Thor’s G League role emphasized activity rather than traditional post play. Before joining Washington, he was averaging 14.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 blocks for Cleveland’s affiliate, showing the two-way versatility that attracted another NBA opportunity. Capital City Go-Go’s independent transaction report | |
| Erik Stevenson | Instant-Offense Reserve (1.05) | 22.5 | Medium (1.1) | 14.7 | 3.8 | 3.8 | 1.6 | 55.21 | An aggressive bench scorer, Stevenson was one of the league’s most productive reserve offensive players during the first half of the season. Contemporary reporting noted that he had scored 20 or more points 15 times and ranked among the G League’s leading bench scorers, which explains why his shooting volume remained high despite not starting. Fox Sports coverage of Stevenson’s NBA opportunity | NBA G League Up Next selection (2025) |
| Kira Lewis Jr. | Change-of-Pace Lead Guard (1.05) | 29.9 | Medium (1.1) | 13.1 | 3.9 | 4.9 | 1.5 | 54.05 | A speed-first ball-handler, Lewis gave Capital City a different tempo with live-dribble penetration and quick decisions. Raptors Republic specifically noted his ability to get into the lane for finishes and dimes, reinforcing that his best value came from pressure on the ball rather than simply perimeter shooting. Raptors Republic’s 2025 analysis of Lewis and the Go-Go | |
| Michael Foster Jr. | Mobile Interior Scorer (1.05) | 22.3 | Medium (1.1) | 9.5 | 5.8 | 2.4 | 2.4 | 46.43 | A mobile frontcourt player, Foster’s development centered on combining interior finishing with defensive activity rather than playing as a stationary center. His previous G League work had already shown flashes of two-way production, including a 26-point, nine-rebound, four-assist performance for Delaware, and Capital City continued to use him as an active big. Sports Illustrated’s Foster coverage | |
| Colby Jones | Defensive Playmaking Wing (1.05) | 28.6 | Medium (1.1) | 9.9 | 4.7 | 2.4 | 2.8 | 45.74 | A physical wing who could defend, rebound and make plays without dominating possessions, Jones filled a connective role in Capital City’s rotation. His later NBA opportunity with Detroit followed a season in which he moved between Washington and the Go-Go, giving him a broader developmental workload than his limited NBA minutes suggested. Yahoo Sports coverage of Jones’ 2025 move | |
| Taylor Funk | High-Volume Floor Spacer (1.05) | 26.1 | Medium (1.1) | 11.1 | 3.8 | 2.3 | 1.1 | 42.27 | A movement shooter used to stretch the defense, Funk’s role was built around creating space for Capital City’s creators while attacking closeouts when defenders ran him off the line. His return to the Go-Go for a second season was part of Washington’s deliberate effort to retain experienced G League depth and shooting. Hoops Rumors coverage of Funk’s return | |
| Mouhamadou Gueye | Defensive Rover Forward (1.05) | 22.7 | Medium (1.1) | 9.7 | 5.0 | 1.6 | 1.2 | 40.43 | A long, mobile defender, Gueye was most useful when he could roam around the paint, switch onto different bodies and finish above the rim. Raptors Republic specifically highlighted his length and athleticism in a Capital City matchup, noting both his lob finishing and ability to shut down the paint. Raptors Republic’s scouting-style coverage of Gueye | |
| Leaky Black | Defensive Utility Wing (1.05) | 27.9 | Medium (1.1) | 8.4 | 5.0 | 2.4 | 1.7 | 40.43 | A defense-first wing with enough passing and rebounding to stay useful without high usage, Black provided lineup flexibility on both ends. His eventual two-way opportunity was tied to that versatility, with contemporary coverage describing his Go-Go play as a showcase for why he could remain in an NBA development pipeline. Sports Illustrated’s Black coverage | |
| John Butler | Rim-Protecting Stretch Center (1.0) | 23.2 | Low (1.0) | 6.5 | 3.3 | 1.1 | 2.2 | 26.20 | A seven-footer with unusual perimeter skills, Butler’s defining role was as a floor-spacing center who could also contest shots. His move from Capital City to Wisconsin during the season reflected the continuing search for the right developmental environment, while his previous Go-Go stint had already established him as a useful shot-blocking big. Hoops Rumors coverage of Butler’s G League role | |
| Jaylen Martin | Athletic Transition Forward (1.0) | 20.2 | Low (1.0) | 7.6 | 3.3 | 1.3 | 0.6 | 25.60 | An athletic forward still developing his half-court game, Martin’s clearest value came from running the floor, attacking gaps and using his physical tools. His 2025 two-way promotion followed a season in which he moved through multiple G League environments, giving him a wider developmental sample than his modest Capital City scoring role alone suggests. HoopsHype coverage of Martin’s 2025 roster path | |
| Chase Jeter | Interior Depth Center (1.0) | 8.9 | Low (1.0) | 3.2 | 2.4 | 0.4 | 0.6 | 13.20 | A traditional interior reserve, Jeter’s limited minutes were primarily about providing size, screening and second-unit depth. Contemporary independent reporting on this specific Go-Go stint was limited, so his role is best characterized conservatively rather than extrapolated from his earlier college or professional stops. | |
| Jayden Hardaway | Developmental Wing Reserve (1.0) | 1.5 | Low (1.0) | 0.5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.00 | A deep developmental reserve, Hardaway saw only brief action in the supplied regular-season sample. His professional transition was still in its earliest stage after five college seasons at Memphis, and later reporting confirmed that Capital City had selected him in the 2024 G League Draft before his eventual move to Stockton.

| Colby Jones | Primary Wing Creator (1.1) | 40.0 | High (1.2) | 25.0 | 6.0 | 5.0 | 3.0 | 102.96 | As Capital City’s main perimeter creator, Jones carried the offense for long stretches and still supplied activity away from the ball, fitting the Go-Go’s playoff reliance on multiple initiators. His 25 points, five assists, two steals and a block came in nearly 40 minutes as Maine pulled away early. (Centralmaine.com) | |
| JT Thor | Stretch-Power Forward (1.05) | 32.0 | High (1.2) | 22.0 | 9.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 80.64 | Thor functioned as a high-minute frontcourt scorer rather than simply a defensive big, attacking enough to reach 22 points while controlling nine rebounds. His two-way-contract status and earlier G League production had made him one of Capital City’s more important playoff rotation pieces. (The Washington Post) | |
| Jalen McDaniels | Versatile Frontcourt Creator (1.05) | 31.0 | High (1.2) | 15.0 | 10.0 | 3.0 | 1.0 | 72.0 | McDaniels brought the matchup versatility that had defined his return to the G League, operating as a mobile forward who could score from outside while helping initiate offense. He led Capital City in rebounding during the season and entered the playoffs with three regular-season double-doubles. (SI) | |
| Kira Lewis Jr. | Franchise Floor General (1.05) | 27.0 | Medium (1.1) | 2.0 | 4.0 | 6.0 | 1.0 | 27.30 | Lewis was primarily asked to organize the attack, and the six assists underline that floor-general responsibility despite a difficult shooting night. His speed and athleticism remained central to his G League profile, while questions about perimeter shooting were still part of the scouting conversation entering the season. (SI) | |
| Erik Stevenson | Instant-Offense Reserve (1.0) | 25.0 | Low (1.0) | 7.0 | 3.0 | 3.0 | 0.0 | 26.00 | Stevenson served as a scoring-minded reserve who normally supplied much more perimeter punch than this playoff outing produced. Earlier in the season he had been recognized as one of the G League’s leading bench scorers and earned an Up Next selection, so the seven-point night represented a muted version of his usual offensive role. (SI) | |
| Leaky Black | Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) | 26.0 | Low (1.0) | 6.0 | 4.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 24.00 | Black’s value came more from connective defense and positional versatility than from creating shots, which fits the defensive reputation he carried into Capital City after his Charlotte stint. Two made threes gave him some offensive value here, while his steal and block added the disruptive element expected from his role. (thecharlottepost.com) | |
| Taylor Funk | Perimeter Spacing Specialist (1.0) | 20.0 | Low (1.0) | 6.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 22.00 | Funk operated as a floor-spacing specialist, with all five attempts coming from three-point range and two finding the net. That shot-first role was consistent with the reputation he had built as a 6-foot-8 perimeter shooter and with his earlier G League success as a high-volume three-point threat. (SI) | |
| Mouhamadou Gueye | Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.05) | 16.0 | Medium (1.1) | 4.0 | 4.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 20.79 | Gueye was used as a defensive-oriented interior presence, providing size and rim protection while taking only two shots. His broader G League role had emphasized length and defensive activity, and his playoff line reflected that profile more than offensive creation. (SI) | |
| Michael Foster Jr. | Interior Energy Forward (1.0) | 15.0 | Low (1.0) | 6.0 | 2.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 16.00 | Foster supplied short-burst frontcourt energy off the bench, working mostly around the interior rather than being asked to manufacture offense. His professional profile has included rebounding and rim protection alongside efficient scoring, and that complementary skill set remained relevant in Capital City’s playoff rotation. (cebl.ca) | |
| Kent Bazemore | Veteran Locker-Room Wing (1.0) | 8.0 | Low (1.0) | 2.0 | 3.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 12.00 | Bazemore had only a brief playoff shift, fitting the veteran-reserve role he occupied after joining Capital City late in the season. Contemporary reporting around the move emphasized his experience and potential value as a veteran presence for a young roster, making his eight-minute appearance more about depth and situational experience than offensive responsibility.
