The 2020-21 season was unlike any other in franchise history, as the Canton Charge did not participate in the NBA G League’s pandemic-shortened campaign held within the league’s single-site environment in Orlando. Rather than sending a team to the abbreviated “bubble” season, the Cleveland Cavaliers elected to sit out the year, leaving the Charge inactive after posting one of the league’s best records before the COVID-19 shutdown the previous season. As a result, no Canton roster, statistics, or game results were recorded for 2020-21. The season stands as a unique gap in franchise history, with basketball operations effectively paused until the organization returned to competition the following year.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Brodric Thomas Primary Two-Way Wing Creator (1.1) 33.8 High 21.3 6.7 4.2 3.2 93.46 A versatile wing who handled major creation duties for Canton after arriving from Rio Grande Valley, Thomas combined downhill scoring with active defense; his six-game run included a 28-point, three-steal performance and a closing stretch that helped establish him as more than a spot-up option. (Charge Basketball) All-NBA G League Second Team (2021); NBA G League All-Rookie Team (2021)
Sheldon McClellan Sixth Man Shot Creator (1.1) 28.5 High 17.9 3.4 3.5 1.1 68.38 Operating as a scoring guard with enough playmaking to run possessions, McClellan repeatedly changed games from the perimeter. He scored 23 off the bench against Greensboro and later produced a late-game reverse layup against Fort Wayne, showing Canton trusted his individual creation when possessions became tight. (Charge Basketball)
Devon Dotson Franchise Floor General (1.05) 31.4 High 13.0 3.7 5.5 1.6 59.98 Dotson functioned as Canton’s primary table-setter, with his speed creating pressure before the defense could get organized. His professional double-double against Greensboro, including 10 assists, illustrated the balance between scoring bursts and organized playmaking that defined his role in the bubble. (Charge Basketball)
Antonio Blakeney Lead Shot Creator (1.05) 26.6 High 15.1 4.3 2.2 1.1 57.20 Blakeney was used as an aggressive perimeter scorer who could manufacture offense when possessions stalled. He opened the season with nine first-quarter points on efficient shooting and later hit a late three against Delaware, fitting the profile of a volume creator rather than a low-usage complementary guard. (Charge Basketball)
Norvel Pelle Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.0) 24.3 High 10.0 10.7 0.7 3.7 55.22 Pelle’s impact was built around vertical defense, rebounding and finishing around the rim rather than perimeter creation. His three-game bubble stint produced a double-double in every appearance, while the 3.0 blocks per game helped generate the defensive attention that earned him another NBA call-up. (Yahoo Sports) NBA Call-Up to Sacramento Kings (2021)
Sir’Dominic Pointer Defensive Playmaking Forward (1.05) 27.6 High 10.7 4.9 3.3 3.5 51.74 Pointer played as Canton’s defensive disruptor while still providing secondary offense. His 29-point game against Austin came with four blocks and seven rebounds, and his ability to turn defensive activity into transition opportunities made him one of the team’s more unusual two-way pieces. (Charge Basketball)
Levi Randolph Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) 30.5 Medium 12.9 4.0 2.5 1.2 47.59 Randolph supplied steady wing play without needing the ball constantly, mixing perimeter scoring with rebounding and defensive activity. A 12-point, nine-rebound outing against Austin and three steals showed how his value extended beyond simply spacing the floor. (Charge Basketball)
Marques Bolden Starting Interior Enforcer (1.05) 23.9 Low 9.2 7.5 1.0 2.1 41.58 Bolden’s role centered on interior defense, screening and finishing rather than offensive initiation. Even in limited bubble exposure, his physical presence was evident around the rim, including a sequence in which his shot-blocking helped close out a tight Fort Wayne game. (Charge Basketball)
Ty-Shon Alexander Two-Way Perimeter Gunner (1.0) 23.7 Medium 9.3 2.9 1.9 0.6 32.34 Alexander supplied Canton’s perimeter spacing and quick-trigger scoring while developing as a two-way player. His seven-three, 30-point finale showed the ceiling of that shooting role, while his earlier back-to-back steals against Fort Wayne illustrated the defensive activity behind it. (Arizona Sports) NBA Finals Appearance (2021)
Malachi Richardson Spacing Wing Reserve (1.0) 19.9 Low 8.4 2.9 1.1 0.5 25.80 Richardson was primarily a perimeter scoring release valve, with his best stretches coming when he attacked defenses from outside rather than carrying the offense. Against Westchester, he hit five of eight threes for 15 points in relief, reinforcing the catch-and-shoot role reflected in his bubble profile. (Sportando)
Aaron Epps Stretch Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) 15.0 Low 5.7 4.8 0.1 1.1 23.40 Epps worked mainly as a frontcourt depth piece with some perimeter shooting responsibility, giving Canton a bigger body who could still threaten outside. His early-season offense included multiple three-pointers against Oklahoma City, while his rebounding remained a more consistent part of his rotation value. (Charge Basketball)
Charles Matthews Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) 18.2 Low 4.4 4.4 1.2 1.1 22.20 Matthews was asked to provide size and defensive pressure more than shot creation. Contemporary coverage described his offensive role as limited, while his defensive activity could still show up through steals; the overall usage points to a developmental wing working for minutes rather than a featured scorer. (CBS Sports Racing)
Anthony Lamb Stretch Forward Development Piece (1.0) 9.5 Low 4.2 2.3 0.5 1.0 16.00 Lamb began the bubble season in a modest Canton role before his opportunity expanded after moving to Rio Grande Valley. The broader season development was significant enough for league coaches and executives to select him as Most Improved Player, reflecting growth beyond the limited minutes represented here. (NBA PR) NBA G League Most Improved Player (2021)
Kristian Doolittle Frontcourt Depth Connector (1.0) 6.5 Low 1.0 2.3 1.8 0.3 10.80 Doolittle had only a brief Canton window, so his role was more developmental than established. His background as a versatile Oklahoma forward—recognized as a First-Team All-Big 12 player—suggested a connector profile built around rebounding and passing rather than high-volume scoring. (Charge Basketball)
Matt McQuaid Perimeter Depth Specialist (1.0) 5.8 Low 0.5 0.8 0.0 0.3 3.20 McQuaid occupied a deep-reserve shooting role after joining Canton from the available player pool. His previous professional experience in Germany and Michigan State background pointed toward a perimeter-support profile, but his four-game bubble sample gave him too little opportunity to establish a larger offensive responsibility.
