The Canton Charge enjoyed one of the strongest seasons in franchise history in 2015-16, finishing 31-19 and capturing the Central Division title. Guided by head coach Jordi Fernández, the Charge paired a disciplined defensive identity with an efficient offense, establishing themselves as a contender throughout the regular season. JaCorey Williams emerged as a breakout star, earning All-NBA D-League First Team honors after a dominant season in the frontcourt, while Quinn Cook orchestrated the offense and strengthened his case for another NBA opportunity. The roster also featured future NBA contributors such as Jordan McRae and Eric Moreland, reflecting the close connection between Canton and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite entering the playoffs with high expectations, the Charge were eliminated in the opening round, bringing an abrupt end to an otherwise outstanding campaign that showcased both winning basketball and significant individual development.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quinn Cook | Franchise Floor General (1.1) | 33.7 | High | 19.6 | 3.9 | 5.4 | 1.2 | 79.46 | A true lead guard for Canton, Cook mixed downhill scoring with steady table-setting and repeatedly controlled late possessions. His 2015-16 season was built around being the team’s offensive organizer, and contemporaneous coverage highlighted his ability to create both scoring runs and playmaking bursts. FOX Sports — Cook named D-League Rookie of the Year | NBA D-League Rookie of the Year (2016); NBA D-League All-Star (2016); All-NBA D-League Third Team (2016); NBA D-League All-Rookie Team (2016) |
| Nick Minnerath | Primary Scoring Forward (1.1) | 29.8 | High | 18.5 | 6.9 | 0.8 | 0.8 | 71.28 | Minnerath functioned as Canton’s frontcourt scoring release valve, comfortable attacking from the perimeter while still punishing smaller defenders inside. During the season, his scoring surges became a regular part of the Charge’s offense, including a 26-point, 10-rebound performance during an 11-game winning streak. Sports Illustrated — Minnerath, Charge storm by Stampede | All-NBA D-League Second Team (2016); NBA D-League Performer of the Week (2016) |
| C.J. Wilcox | Movement Shooting Specialist (1.1) | 31.4 | High | 18.1 | 3.7 | 2.9 | 0.9 | 67.58 | Wilcox was used as a high-minute perimeter scorer whose shooting gravity opened room for other Canton creators. His assignment to Canton was specifically designed to give him meaningful minutes, and the Clippers’ reporting noted his expanded responsibility and scoring production there. Los Angeles Times — Wilcox’s D-League assignment | None |
| Joe Harris | Floor-Spacer Wing Creator (1.05) | 33.1 | High | 16.4 | 5.2 | 2.6 | 1.0 | 63.50 | Harris arrived in Canton as an NBA-caliber shooter who needed extended game reps, and his role quickly expanded beyond spot-up work. His assignments gave him substantial on-ball and rebounding responsibility while he continued to function primarily as a perimeter scoring threat. ShamSports — Joe Harris player profile | None |
| John Holland | Two-Way Scoring Wing (1.1) | 30.2 | High | 16.0 | 3.1 | 2.0 | 1.4 | 59.40 | Holland played like a veteran wing scorer who could attack gaps without needing the offense built entirely around him. His Canton run was also a showcase for his NBA ambitions, with reporting emphasizing both his scoring responsibility and the long developmental road that preceded his Celtics call-up. The Boston Globe — John Holland’s road to the NBA | NBA Call-Up (2016) |
| Jorge Gutierrez | Defensive Lead Guard (1.05) | 27.8 | Medium | 11.3 | 4.2 | 5.7 | 2.3 | 54.29 | Gutierrez supplied the rugged point-guard work Canton needed: ball pressure, rebounding from the backcourt and aggressive playmaking. His season included a D-League triple-double and repeated double-digit assist performances, reinforcing his role as a disruptive lead guard rather than merely a scorer. Charlotte Hornets — Gutierrez earns second 10-day contract | NBA Call-Up (2016) |
| Tim Hardaway Jr. | Developmental Shot Creator (1.05) | 32.5 | High | 17.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 0.0 | 52.92 | Hardaway’s Canton stint was essentially a development assignment, with Atlanta emphasizing player development after his limited NBA opportunities. He was still treated as a scoring wing capable of creating his own looks, but the short sample leaves less evidence for a broader role than the raw usage suggests. Hoops Rumors — Tim Hardaway Jr. development context | None |
| Cristiano Felicio | Interior Finishing Big (1.05) | 23.8 | Medium | 14.3 | 5.5 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 52.67 | Felicio gave Canton a powerful interior option who could finish efficiently around the basket while providing genuine rim protection. At the D-League Showcase, he paired 18 points with eight rebounds, fitting the physical, paint-oriented role the Charge needed from its NBA assignee. Sports Illustrated — Minnerath, Charge storm by Stampede | None |
| Lamar Patterson | Secondary Wing Creator (1.05) | 23.1 | Medium | 12.0 | 3.6 | 3.6 | 1.0 | 46.66 | Patterson operated as a connective wing who could handle the ball, make secondary reads and attack when the primary action broke down. His Canton numbers show a notably balanced offensive profile rather than a pure scoring role, consistent with his reputation as a versatile perimeter piece. NBA G League — Lamar Patterson profile | None |
| Damien Inglis | Versatile Forward Initiator (1.05) | 21.7 | Medium | 10.7 | 5.0 | 1.7 | 1.3 | 43.20 | Inglis brought unusual versatility for a young forward, showing flashes as a ball handler while still doing most of his damage from the frontcourt. In his Canton debut he immediately supplied scoring and rebounding, illustrating why Milwaukee used the assignment as a developmental opportunity. Milwaukee Bucks — Inglis assigned to Canton | None |
| Michael Stockton | Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.05) | 23.0 | Medium | 8.4 | 2.8 | 4.7 | 1.0 | 39.04 | Stockton’s value came from keeping Canton organized rather than dominating possessions. His February run showed the upside of that role: he produced a double-double with 18 points and 12 assists, while also supplying enough shooting to prevent defenses from simply ignoring him. OurSportsCentral — Charge extend streak on road | None |
| Juvonte Reddic | Starting Interior Presence (1.05) | 21.7 | Medium | 9.0 | 5.3 | 0.8 | 0.7 | 36.50 | Reddic served as a physical interior finisher and rebounding presence, often giving Canton a second-unit lift against smaller lineups. One February performance captured that identity well, as he grabbed a season-high 19 rebounds while helping the Charge control the interior. OurSportsCentral — Charge extend streak on road | None |
| D.J. Stephens | Transition Rim Runner (1.05) | 19.8 | Medium | 8.2 | 4.9 | 0.6 | 2.1 | 36.50 | Stephens was the vertical threat and defensive disruptor of the group, particularly dangerous when Canton could run. His three-block outing during the February winning streak reflected how his athleticism could change a game without requiring heavy offensive touches. OurSportsCentral — Charge extend streak on road | NBA D-League Slam Dunk Contest participant (2016) |
| Rashad Vaughn | Developmental Scoring Wing (1.0) | 21.0 | Medium | 8.0 | 3.3 | 2.3 | 1.3 | 32.78 | Vaughn’s Canton stint was primarily about giving a young first-round wing room to experiment with his perimeter game. The limited sample suggests an attack-minded scorer still searching for efficiency and a dependable secondary skill set rather than a fully formed rotation role. | None |
| Michael Dunigan | Reserve Post Scorer (1.05) | 20.8 | Low | 7.8 | 5.3 | 0.8 | 1.7 | 32.76 | Dunigan supplied veteran frontcourt depth, combining interior scoring with rebounding and useful shot-blocking. Early in the season he formed an effective inside-out pairing with Cook, including a 23-point, seven-rebound outing in which his interior scoring helped Canton close out Fort Wayne. OurSportsCentral — Charge outmuscle Mad Ants | None |
| Sir’Dominic Pointer | Defensive Utility Wing (1.05) | 20.3 | Low | 6.9 | 4.5 | 1.0 | 2.4 | 31.08 | Pointer’s defining role was defensive activity: he could guard multiple perimeter positions, chase plays from behind and provide weak-side rim protection. His 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steal per game underline the disruptive profile that later remained central to his reputation. Hoops Rumors — Pointer among G League Defensive Player of the Year runners-up | None |
| Chris Crawford | Passing Wing Reserve (1.0) | 21.7 | Low | 5.8 | 2.9 | 3.9 | 1.2 | 27.60 | Crawford was more useful as a secondary facilitator than as a volume scorer, particularly after returning to Canton late in the season. His debut after rejoining the club produced nine assists, a good illustration of the pass-first dimension of his game. OurSportsCentral — Charge return of Crawford context | None |
| Jon Horford | Rebounding Centerpiece (1.05) | 18.6 | Low | 4.3 | 7.0 | 0.9 | 0.6 | 26.88 | Horford’s role was straightforward but important: occupy the interior, rebound and protect the paint while higher-usage guards handled creation. His arrival in December was specifically framed around adding another big body to the Charge’s rotation. Sports Illustrated — Charge acquire Horford | None |
| Walter Tavares | Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.05) | 19.0 | Low | 4.0 | 7.0 | 0.0 | 1.5 | 26.25 | Tavares was used almost entirely through his size, length and finishing radius. With little need to create away from the basket, his value came from occupying the paint, challenging shots and cleaning the glass. | None |
| Jordan Morgan | Energy Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 15.0 | Low | 2.3 | 4.7 | 1.7 | 0.3 | 18.00 | Morgan’s minutes were built around physical work rather than offensive creation. He gave Canton a willing rebounder and interior screener, with his passing providing a useful secondary outlet when defenses collapsed. | None |
| JerShon Cobb | Perimeter Defense Reserve (1.0) | 14.6 | Low | 4.6 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 0.9 | 16.80 | Cobb was primarily a defensive-minded guard trying to carve out minutes in a crowded Canton backcourt. His role was low-usage and opportunistic, with occasional three-point shooting and ball movement supplementing his defensive work. Sports Illustrated — Pointer and Cook join Charge camp | None |
| Antoine Agudio | Veteran Spot-Up Specialist (1.0) | 16.4 | Low | 4.8 | 1.1 | 1.0 | 0.4 | 14.60 | Agudio’s veteran role centered on spacing the floor and providing a familiar perimeter option when the main creators needed rest. Even late in his Canton career, he could swing a reserve unit with quick-trigger shooting, including a 19-point bench performance during the February winning streak. OurSportsCentral — Charge extend streak on road | None |
| Kevin Olekaibe | Instant-Offense Reserve (1.0) | 11.8 | Low | 5.0 | 1.0 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 13.20 | Olekaibe’s role was that of a small-minutes scoring guard who could attack from deep without requiring much structure. His season ended early because of injury, limiting his opportunity to develop a larger place in the rotation. Canton Charge media guide — Olekaibe season context | None |
| Antonio Barton | Backup Point Guard (1.0) | 10.7 | Low | 1.0 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 3.20 | Barton entered Canton as a developmental point guard with a reputation for perimeter shooting and prior experience running an offense at Tennessee. The Charge’s draft coverage specifically identified his point-guard background and three-point shooting as defining parts of his skill set. FOX Sports — Canton selects Barton in D-League draft | None |

| Quinn Cook | Franchise Floor General (1.1) | 36.3 | High (1.2) | 23.5 | 4.8 | 7.3 | 1.8 | 98.74 | Lead playmaker Cook controlled the playoff offense as a pass-first guard who could still shoulder heavy scoring duties. His 7.3 assists reflected the responsibility, while contemporaneous reporting noted that he had led Canton in both scoring and assists repeatedly during the season. FOX Sports | NBA D-League Rookie of the Year (2016); NBA D-League All-Star (2016); All-NBA D-League Third Team (2016); NBA D-League All-Rookie Team (2016) |
| John Holland | Primary Wing Creator (1.1) | 39.5 | High (1.2) | 28.5 | 4.5 | 4.0 | 2.0 | 85.80 | Two-way wing Holland became Canton’s main scoring outlet against Maine, attacking aggressively while still making plays for teammates. His playoff burst helped Canton win the first-round series, and Boston coverage emphasized the determination and versatility behind his long route to an NBA opportunity. The Boston Globe | NBA Call-Up (2016) |
| Jordan McRae | Lead Shot Creator (1.1) | 46.0 | High (1.2) | 21.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 1.0 | 81.84 | Lead scorer McRae was inserted directly into Canton’s Eastern Conference Finals rotation after barely playing with the team all season. Independent Cavaliers coverage pointed out the awkwardness of dropping two NBA players into a playoff group that had already earned its way there, making his one-game stint more of an emergency scoring assignment than a normal rotation role. Fear The Sword | NBA Champion (2016) |
| Nick Minnerath | Offensive Focal Point (1.1) | 27.5 | High (1.2) | 17.8 | 6.8 | 1.8 | 0.3 | 70.49 | Stretch scoring forward Minnerath remained one of Canton’s preferred offensive outlets, mixing perimeter attempts with physical work on the glass. Earlier in the season he had produced an 11-game stretch of double-doubles, and his scoring versatility remained important as the Charge reached the conference finals. Sports Illustrated | All-NBA D-League Second Team (2016); NBA D-League Performer of the Week (2016) |
| Sasha Kaun | Interior Finishing Specialist (1.05) | 30.0 | Medium (1.1) | 15.0 | 9.0 | 0.0 | 6.0 | 69.30 | Rim-running center Kaun was parachuted into the playoff lineup as an NBA veteran rather than developed through Canton’s normal rotation. His presence gave the Charge an established interior body, although contemporary coverage noted the disruption that late NBA assignments could create for players who had carried the team to the conference finals. Fear The Sword | NBA Champion (2016) |
| Michael Stockton | Pick-and-Roll Engine (1.05) | 24.0 | Medium (1.1) | 11.3 | 2.7 | 5.3 | 2.0 | 49.20 | Pick-and-roll organizer Stockton supplied the secondary creation that kept Canton’s offense moving when its bigger scorers drew attention. During the season he produced an 18-point, 12-assist double-double, a useful snapshot of how his passing could suddenly become the central offensive weapon. OurSportsCentral | None |
| Sir’Dominic Pointer | Defensive Utility Wing (1.05) | 24.8 | Medium (1.1) | 10.0 | 5.3 | 2.0 | 2.6 | 45.97 | Defensive-minded wing Pointer brought activity rather than high-volume creation, using length to pressure the ball and make plays around the rim. His later scouting reputation as a hard-working defensive specialist with limited offensive responsibility fits the playoff profile shown here. Sports Illustrated | None |
| Juvonte Reddic | Starting Interior Presence (1.05) | 22.8 | Medium (1.1) | 6.3 | 4.3 | 0.5 | 0.8 | 27.49 | Physical interior forward Reddic supplied screening, rebounding and paint finishing alongside Canton’s perimeter creators. Earlier in the season he posted 19 rebounds in a road win, showing the glass-cleaning role that remained useful even when his playoff scoring was modest. A1 Basket Greece | None |
| Jon Horford | Rebounding Centerpiece (1.05) | 16.7 | Low (1.0) | 6.0 | 5.0 | 0.3 | 0.7 | 25.20 | Interior big Horford was used as a physical reserve who could stabilize the paint without demanding touches. When he joined Canton in December, he immediately scored the team’s first two baskets and finished his debut with 10 points and nine rebounds, a good indication of the low-post utility coaches wanted from him. OurSportsCentral | None |
| Chris Crawford | Offensive Connector (1.0) | 24.3 | Medium (1.1) | 4.3 | 3.0 | 2.5 | 1.0 | 23.76 | Passing wing Crawford functioned as a connective piece rather than a primary scorer, helping move the ball between Canton’s lead guards and frontcourt players. He had returned to the Charge late in the regular season after playing in France, giving the playoff roster another experienced secondary facilitator. OurSportsCentral | None |
| Jordan Morgan | Energy Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 14.0 | Low (1.0) | 3.0 | 4.0 | 0.3 | 1.3 | 17.20 | Energy big Morgan was a late-season addition whose value came mostly from physical rebounding and defensive activity. His limited playoff minutes reflected how difficult it was to displace Canton’s established frontcourt rotation after the team had already reached the Eastern Conference Finals. French Basketball Scouting | None |
| Antoine Agudio | Veteran Spot-Up Specialist (1.0) | 17.3 | Low (1.0) | 5.3 | 0.8 | 1.5 | 0.0 | 15.20 | Veteran guard Agudio provided spacing and bench scoring, giving Canton a perimeter option when its primary creators needed relief. He led the Charge with 14 points in the elimination game, showing how his shooting could still become useful when the offense needed a quick scoring jolt. Sports Illustrated | None |
| Jon Octeus | Backcourt Depth Creator (1.0) | 16.0 | Low (1.0) | 2.0 | 3.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 14.00 | Backcourt reserve Octeus arrived from the available player pool just before Canton’s playoff run, leaving little time to establish a larger offensive role. The transaction timing helps explain the modest usage: he was essentially late-stage depth rather than a player integrated into the team’s established playoff hierarchy. | None |
