The Charge roster is led by Cleveland Cavaliers Two-Way players F Mamadi Diakite and F Isaiah Mobley. Four players also spent time in training camp with the Cavs and join the Charge as affiliate players: G Sharife Cooper, G Didi Louzada, F Jamorko Pickett, and F Chandler Vaudrin. G Nate Hinton also was in training camp with the Cavs this past month, with the Charge acquiring his rights earlier this offseason in a trade.
