Player of the Week

Kay Felder, with Deron Williams now on the Cavs, is going to be spending a lot more time in Canton. And while he’s playing at a lower level in Canton as opposed to Cleveland, Felder has been showing out with the Charge.

Two examples from Canton’s game on Saturday standout. First, here’s him poking free a steal and zooming to the other end:

And here’s some wicked body control on a layup. This, in particular, is a skill he could put to use with the Cavs:

Play of the Week

Kay Felder hit a three from Steph Curry range on Saturday. What he does with the Charge may not always translate, but it is fun.

The Charge enter Sunday’s game fourth in the East.

Wednesday, March 8: Canton Charge at Windy City Bulls

Saturday, March 11: Canton Charge vs. Austin Spurs

To wrap up the week, the Charge return to their home arena to face the West’s fourth-worst team. In short: every team the Charge face this week are currently under .500.
