The Cleveland Charge enjoyed one of the most productive seasons in the franchise’s Cleveland era in 2025-26, finishing 23-13 and ranking among the NBA G League’s highest-scoring teams. The Charge averaged more than 122 points per game and paired an elite offense with a deep roster that regularly featured NBA-affiliated talent and emerging prospects. Norchad Omier established himself as a dominant frontcourt presence, while Luke Travers continued his development as an all-around contributor and playmaker. The team also received significant production from Darius Brown II, whose assist numbers helped drive one of the league’s most efficient attacks. Cleveland’s strong regular season positioned it among the Eastern Conference contenders, although its playoff run ended quickly with a one-possession loss to the Capital City Go-Go. Even so, the season highlighted the organization’s ability to combine winning basketball with meaningful player development.

Luke Travers Primary Point-Forward (1.1) 33.3 High 22.3 7.8 4.7 2.7 99.00 Versatile point-forward duties were central to Travers’ appeal, with Australian basketball coverage emphasizing his ability to defend one through four and sometimes five while also functioning as a secondary creator. His previous Charge run produced four triple-doubles, reinforcing the unusually broad skill set behind his role. Basketball.com.au
Killian Hayes Franchise Floor General (1.1) 26.6 High 22.1 3.0 6.8 2.2 90.02 Hayes operated as the primary organizer and lead shot creator, with his playmaking responsibilities extending well beyond conventional scoring-guard duties. Contemporary reporting highlighted his 18-assist Charge franchise record, illustrating how heavily Cleveland relied on him to control possessions. NBA G League NBA G League Player of the Week (2026); All-NBA G League Second Team (2026)
Norchad Omier Interior Offensive Focal Point (1.1) 25.0 High 15.8 9.2 2.0 1.3 74.71 Omier functioned as a physical interior hub, creating offense through post pressure, offensive rebounding and activity around the rim rather than perimeter volume. His season context included repeated double-doubles and a later G League Player of the Week honor after a four-game stretch built around scoring, rebounding and passing. NBA G League NBA G League Player of the Week (2026); NBA G League Next Up Game selection (2026)
Tristan Enaruna Primary Scoring Forward (1.1) 30.9 High 18.5 5.5 1.9 2.1 73.92 Enaruna was deployed as a scoring forward who could exploit size mismatches while still spacing the floor and contributing defensively. His development became one of the season’s major stories, eventually earning him the 2025-26 G League Most Improved Player award. NBA G League NBA G League Most Improved Player (2026)
Darius Brown II Lead Pick-and-Roll Director (1.1) 31.9 High 11.6 3.6 8.9 2.6 70.49 Brown’s defining role was offensive orchestration rather than scoring volume. Reporting described him as a floor general, and his 22-assist performance — one shy of the G League single-game record — demonstrated the extent to which he could dictate Cleveland’s offense.
