The Canton Charge remained one of the Eastern Conference’s strongest teams in 2013-14, finishing 31-19 and returning to the playoffs for a third consecutive season. While they did not replicate the previous year’s run to the D-League Finals, the Charge again combined stability with player development, led by the backcourt of Jared Cunningham and Carrick Felix, both of whom spent time under NBA contracts during their professional careers. Veteran guard Ronald Burrell provided scoring punch and leadership, while forward Arinze Onuaku gave the team a dependable presence inside. Canton’s roster reflected the close relationship with the Cleveland Cavaliers, featuring numerous prospects and assignment players throughout the season. The Charge advanced to the postseason but were eliminated in the first round, bringing an end to another successful campaign that reinforced the franchise’s reputation as a consistent contender in the D-League.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jorge Gutierrez | Franchise Floor General (1.1) | 32.7 | High | 13.9 | 5.7 | 6.9 | 1.5 | 73.92 | A ball-dominant lead guard, Gutierrez organized Canton’s offense while taking the toughest perimeter defensive assignments. His 6.9 assists and 1.2 steals reflected a two-way workload, and contemporary reporting highlighted his ability to pressure elite opposing scorers while still creating offense. Canton Charge reporting on Gutierrez | — |
| Kevin Jones | Primary Interior Scorer (1.1) | 30.5 | High | 16.9 | 8.0 | 0.7 | 1.0 | 69.43 | Jones operated as Canton’s main half-court scoring forward, combining smooth post finishes, transition play and face-up work. His 50.5% shooting came with almost no three-point volume, matching contemporary scouting that described him as a skilled finisher and finesse post option whose perimeter game had largely disappeared. Kevin Jones scouting and season context | 2014 NBA D-League All-Star |
| Arinze Onuaku | Interior Efficiency Specialist (1.05) | 24.8 | High | 14.8 | 10.1 | 1.0 | 1.6 | 67.79 | Onuaku was Canton’s physical interior finisher and rebounding specialist, often producing starter-level impact despite starting only 11 games. Reporting emphasized his soft touch around the rim, ability to seal defenders and finish with either hand, plus his relentless work on the glass. ShamSports scouting report on Onuaku | 2014 NBA D-League All-Star; NBA D-League Third Team (2014) |
| Kyrylo Fesenko | Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.05) | 27.9 | High | 12.4 | 8.7 | 2.7 | 1.2 | 63.00 | Fesenko gave Canton a genuine interior presence after joining the club late, providing size, rebounding and rim protection while functioning as a high-efficiency interior target. His immediate 29-point, 12-rebound performance showed how quickly the veteran center became a frontcourt focal point. Canton Charge season coverage featuring Fesenko | — |
| Sergey Karasev | Pick-and-Pop Wing Creator (1.05) | 29.9 | High | 13.5 | 5.0 | 2.4 | 1.3 | 55.94 | Karasev’s Canton role was built around perimeter scoring and secondary creation rather than simply spot-up shooting. His repeated assignments from Cleveland gave him extended development minutes, and early Charge reporting noted that he immediately produced efficient scoring and rebounding in a larger offensive role. Cleveland coverage of Karasev’s Charge assignment | — |
| Shane Edwards | Stretch-Four Scoring Forward (1.05) | 28.9 | High | 14.2 | 5.4 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 55.19 | Edwards functioned as a powerful scoring forward who could punish defenses without needing heavy ball-handling responsibilities. His 55.1% field-goal shooting and steady rebounding complemented a physical interior game, while his long D-League track record made him one of Canton’s more experienced frontcourt pieces. Shane Edwards player and season coverage | — |
| Will Cherry | Defensive Lead Guard (1.05) | 30.3 | High | 11.6 | 3.7 | 4.5 | 1.6 | 53.93 | Cherry brought an aggressive point-guard style to Canton, attacking the ball defensively while also initiating offense. His reputation as a high-level collegiate defender carried into the Charge, and his 4.5 assists paired with 1.4 steals per game show why he could influence possessions without being the team’s primary scorer. Canton acquisition report on Cherry | — |
| Henry Sims | Interior Scoring Reserve (1.0) | 22.7 | High | 14.0 | 6.3 | 0.7 | 0.6 | 51.84 | Sims was a short-term interior scoring option whose Canton stint came through repeated NBA assignments. In only three games he was immediately used as a featured frontcourt scorer, including a 12-point, nine-rebound performance in his final early-season Charge appearance. Cleveland coverage of Sims with Canton | — |
| Aleksander Czyz | Energy Rebounder (1.05) | 23.7 | Medium | 12.0 | 7.3 | 0.9 | 1.4 | 49.90 | Czyz played with an attacking, high-energy frontcourt style, crashing the glass and converting opportunities around the basket rather than serving as a spacing big. His season-high 28 points and 19 rebounds late in the regular season illustrated how his activity could swing a game when his minutes expanded. Canton reporting on Czyz’s late-season surge | — |
| Gilbert Brown | Two-Way Scoring Wing (1.05) | 29.6 | Medium | 12.3 | 3.6 | 2.6 | 1.5 | 46.20 | Brown supplied Canton with a balanced wing game, combining secondary scoring with passing and disruptive perimeter defense. His defensive value was substantial enough to earn D-League All-Defensive Third Team recognition, while his three-point volume gave the lineup another way to stretch opponents. Milwaukee’s 2014 scouting profile of Brown | NBA D-League All-Defensive Third Team (2014) |
| Carrick Felix | Transition Wing Finisher (1.05) | 28.8 | Medium | 11.0 | 5.2 | 2.0 | 1.7 | 45.97 | Felix was used as an athletic two-way wing whose greatest value came from attacking space, defending multiple positions and finishing plays rather than dominating possessions. Cleveland repeatedly moved him between the NBA and Canton, reinforcing that his D-League minutes were primarily developmental reps for a young rotation prospect. Utah’s retrospective on Felix’s Canton season | — |
| Bo Spencer | Combo-Guard Shot Creator (1.0) | 24.6 | High | 9.7 | 3.3 | 3.6 | 1.3 | 42.96 | Spencer served as a secondary ball-handler capable of creating his own perimeter shot while also sharing playmaking duties. His Canton stint was part of a season spent across multiple D-League clubs, so his role was more fluid than that of the Charge’s established starters. Bo Spencer’s professional career profile | — |
| Tyrell Biggs | Frontcourt Scoring Reserve (1.0) | 20.7 | Medium | 11.0 | 6.0 | 1.3 | 0.3 | 40.92 | Biggs supplied short-burst interior production during his brief Canton stint, functioning as a physical reserve rather than a primary offensive option. His later move to Reno underscores how temporary his Charge role was, with his value centered on rebounding, interior scoring and energy. Tyrell Biggs minor-league career record | — |
| Antoine Agudio | Movement Shooting Specialist (1.05) | 26.1 | Medium | 8.4 | 2.2 | 2.4 | 1.0 | 32.34 | Agudio worked as a perimeter-oriented offensive connector, spacing the floor and moving into catch-and-shoot opportunities while contributing secondary passing. His 3.2 three-point attempts per game were a meaningful part of Canton’s spacing structure, while his career with the Charge established him as a veteran perimeter option. Agudio’s D-League career profile | — |
| Ben Uzoh | Backup Point Guard (1.0) | 21.2 | Medium | 7.8 | 2.4 | 2.6 | 0.9 | 30.14 | Uzoh filled a reserve ball-handler role, providing enough downhill creation and passing to keep second units functional without carrying a major scoring burden. His 2.6 assists against modest usage fit the profile of a stabilizing guard rather than a primary offensive engine. Limited contemporary independent coverage was available for this specific Canton stint. Canton season statistical archive | — |
| Rashad Anderson | Veteran Perimeter Scorer (1.0) | 22.7 | Medium | 7.3 | 3.4 | 1.3 | 1.0 | 28.60 | Anderson operated as a veteran perimeter scoring option, with much of his offensive value coming from jump-shot creation rather than playmaking. His prior professional résumé included substantial international and D-League scoring experience, making him a useful depth scorer for a Canton rotation that changed frequently. Rashad Anderson professional profile | — |
| Robert Hite | Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) | 23.0 | Medium | 7.2 | 3.2 | 1.3 | 1.2 | 28.38 | Hite functioned as a physical wing reserve who could defend, rebound his position and provide occasional perimeter scoring. His 0.9 steals and 3.2 rebounds suggest a broader possession-to-possession role than his scoring line alone indicates. Limited independent season-specific reporting was available for this Canton stint. Canton game coverage featuring Hite | — |
| William Buford | Spot-Up Wing Reserve (1.0) | 21.5 | Medium | 7.5 | 3.5 | 1.5 | 0.3 | 28.16 | Buford supplied complementary wing offense, particularly as a perimeter release valve rather than a high-usage creator. His 38.9% three-point shooting and low turnover rate fit a role built around making the right play quickly and keeping the offensive structure intact. William Buford’s D-League profile | — |
| Brandon Paul | Athletic Wing Reserve (1.0) | 10.5 | Medium | 5.0 | 2.0 | 1.5 | 1.0 | 20.90 | Paul’s Canton contribution was extremely brief, with his athletic two-way profile more notable than his tiny sample of minutes. He had just returned to the United States after playing overseas, and the Charge stint ended quickly because of a season-ending injury. Brandon Paul’s professional background | — |
| Michael Lee | Frontcourt Depth Piece (1.0) | 15.8 | Low | 5.1 | 3.0 | 0.7 | 0.9 | 19.40 | Lee provided interior depth without requiring touches, contributing through positional size, rebounding and occasional defensive activity. His broader professional career had already taken him through several European leagues before the Canton opportunity, so he entered as an experienced depth forward rather than a developmental centerpiece. Michael Lee’s professional career profile | — |
| Zane Johnson | Perimeter Shooting Reserve (1.0) | 17.5 | Low | 5.0 | 1.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 15.00 | Johnson’s small Canton sample points to a floor-spacing reserve role, with half of his field-goal attempts coming from three-point range. With only two games, however, there is limited evidence for a broader season-long role, so the available reporting supports treating him as short-term depth. Limited contemporary independent coverage was available. | — |
| Steve Weingarten | Physical Center Reserve (1.0) | 9.7 | Low | 3.7 | 1.3 | 0.2 | 0.4 | 11.20 | Weingarten was used sparingly as a physical reserve center, with his value tied more to occupying the interior and absorbing frontcourt minutes than creating offense. The limited playing time makes a more expansive season-specific role assessment difficult. Limited independent contemporary reporting was available for his Canton stint. | — |
| Kyle Randall | Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) | 9.0 | Low | 3.3 | 1.5 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 11.20 | Randall’s Canton role was a small-minute guard assignment after spending much of the season with Fort Wayne. His modest scoring load and brief stint suggest emergency backcourt depth rather than a regular rotation responsibility. Limited contemporary independent reporting was available for this four-game Canton sample. Kyle Randall professional season profile | — |
| Remon Nelson | Energy Guard Reserve (1.0) | 10.5 | Low | 2.8 | 0.7 | 1.1 | 0.3 | 9.80 | Nelson entered Canton through an open tryout and carved out a small reserve role, primarily supplying ball-handling and energy in short stretches. The Charge waived him when Will Cherry arrived, a move that neatly illustrates how quickly his roster role changed during the season. Canton’s acquisition of Will Cherry and Nelson’s release | — |
| Anthony Harris | End-of-Rotation Guard (1.0) | 5.3 | Low | 2.0 | 0.7 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 6.00 | Harris saw only brief late-rotation action, so there is little evidence of a sustained offensive assignment beyond providing backcourt depth. His tiny sample makes stronger conclusions about his season role inappropriate, and limited independent contemporary coverage was available. | — |

| Arinze Onuaku | Interior Defensive Anchor (1.1) | 33.0 | High (1.2) | 14.0 | 15.0 | 2.0 | 0.6 | 84.22 | Onuaku was the interior fulcrum, using his strength to control the glass and create second chances. In Game 1 he produced 21 points and a playoff-record 19 rebounds, while his 12-point, 14-rebound effort in the elimination game showed that Canton continued to lean on him inside. FOX Sports playoff report | — |
| Will Cherry | Lead Defensive Playmaker (1.1) | 36.7 | High (1.2) | 13.3 | 5.3 | 8.3 | 2.0 | 76.30 | Cherry became the playoff backcourt organizer, pushing the tempo and creating offense rather than merely finishing possessions. His 12-assist Game 3 performance was especially important, and contemporaneous reporting described his late-season arrival as a major stabilizing factor for Canton. Yahoo Sports Cherry report | — |
| Shane Edwards | Primary Scoring Forward (1.1) | 33.3 | High (1.2) | 17.3 | 5.3 | 0.7 | 1.3 | 64.94 | Edwards attacked as Canton’s principal scoring forward, combining physical interior work with efficient mid-range and face-up offense. He erupted for 29 points on 14-of-19 shooting in Game 1, and his return from a brief NBA stint had already produced an immediate scoring surge before the playoffs. Little Rock Edwards playoff coverage | — |
| Antoine Agudio | Veteran Perimeter Creator (1.05) | 33.7 | High (1.2) | 12.3 | 2.3 | 2.0 | 1.3 | 45.11 | Agudio served as a veteran perimeter shot-maker who could carry stretches of the offense when the frontcourt drew extra attention. He scored 16 points in Game 2 and then delivered 21 points, five rebounds and five assists in the deciding game, showing why Canton trusted his experience in late possessions. OurSportsCentral playoff report | — |
| Scotty Hopson | Athletic Scoring Wing (1.05) | 22.0 | Medium (1.1) | 10.3 | 3.3 | 1.7 | 0.3 | 36.04 | Hopson was a late-arriving scoring wing used to inject athleticism and perimeter offense into the playoff rotation. Cleveland assigned him to Canton immediately before the postseason, and he responded with 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting in Game 1 before averaging 10.3 points across the series. Yahoo Sports Hopson career report | — |
| Aleksander Czyz | High-Energy Interior Finisher (1.05) | 19.3 | Medium (1.1) | 7.7 | 5.7 | 1.0 | 0.3 | 33.96 | Czyz supplied energetic frontcourt minutes, attacking the rim and competing on the glass without needing many possessions called for him. His 12-point, five-rebound Game 2 effort came off the bench, fitting the playoff role of changing the physical tone when Canton’s main bigs needed relief. Sportowe Fakty playoff report | — |
| Sergey Karasev | Secondary Playmaking Wing (1.05) | 24.0 | Low (1.0) | 4.0 | 7.0 | 5.0 | 0.0 | 33.60 | Karasev’s playoff role was unusual because he was an NBA-assigned wing returning to Canton immediately before the postseason. His passing instincts were still useful in a larger D-League setting, but his one-game sample against Sioux Falls limits how much can be inferred about a sustained playoff assignment. Hoops Rumors Karasev coverage | — |
| Gilbert Brown | Perimeter Defensive Specialist (1.05) | 28.0 | Medium (1.1) | 9.3 | 3.3 | 1.3 | 0.6 | 33.50 | Brown’s playoff value centered on perimeter defense and complementary scoring rather than primary creation. Canton leaned on him as one of its established two-way wings, and he remained part of a defensive-minded lineup that entered the postseason with a reputation for being one of the league’s better defensive teams. Milwaukee scouting profile on Brown | NBA D-League All-Defensive Third Team (2014) |
| Kyrylo Fesenko | Backup Rim Protector (1.05) | 13.0 | Low (1.0) | 4.5 | 5.0 | 0.0 | 3.5 | 27.30 | Fesenko was deployed as a specialist interior presence, with his value concentrated around size and shot blocking rather than offensive volume. In Game 2 he produced four blocks in only 15 minutes, illustrating how his rim protection could immediately change the defensive geometry of the series. Hoops Rumors Fesenko coverage | — |
| William Buford | Spot-Up Wing Reserve (1.0) | 16.0 | Low (1.0) | 6.0 | 5.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 22.00 | Buford was a short-minute perimeter reserve whose playoff opportunity was limited to one appearance. Earlier in the season, his ability to contribute scoring from the wing had earned him a regular place in Canton’s rotation, but the postseason matchup left little room for his offensive role to expand. | — |
| Remon Nelson | Emergency Backcourt Reserve (1.0) | 11.7 | Low (1.0) | 2.3 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.0 | 7.40 | Nelson handled only brief reserve minutes, primarily providing emergency ball-handling rather than a defined scoring assignment. His three playoff appearances totaled just 35 minutes, making the available contemporary evidence too limited to identify a larger postseason responsibility. | — |
