That’s a wrap. The Cleveland Cavaliers ended the 2025-26 regular season with a win over the Washington Wizards. Let’s get to the grades.

All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player.

Jaylon Tyson

18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists

Tyson looked like the kid who decided to show up on Senior Skip Day. He overachieved all season, ending the year both as the biggest surprise and the most entertaining part of the year, in my opinion.

Grade: A+

Olivier Sarr

10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 1 steal

Sarr has a solid game. He showcased great agility and touch for his height, but at 27 years old, I’m not sure how much more development we should expect from him. His thinner frame makes him vulnerable against NBA-sized frontcourts. Still, he’s a fun player to watch and easy to root for.

Grade: B-

Craig Porter Jr.

7 points, 4 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 block

Porter capped off his season with another all-around performance. His weak-side block in the first half was a highlight.

Grade: B–

Tyrese Proctor

22 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 6 turnovers

I’m optimistic about Proctor’s future. He’s got all of the skills you want in a modern guard. A smooth jumper and good defensive instincts.

Six turnovers are the only thing stopping me from giving him the A+ for this near-triple-double performance.

Grade: A

Nae’Qwan Tomlin

26 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists

Tomlin, as we’ve come to expect, was shot out of a cannon tonight. He rebounded his own miss three times in one possession and took a borderline heat-check three-pointer after hitting back-to-back jumpers in the first half. For the record, Tomlin is shooting 20% from downtown this season. His unbridled enthusiasm is something I have no choice but to respect.

Grade: A+

Max Strus

10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists

We don’t get many opportunities to watch Strus handle the ball with volume. Tonight, he had the ball in his hands a ton — and it was a nice reminder of how skilled NBA players are. Strus unleashed a few shifty moves, bringing the ball up the floor, and it’s always fun to see someone take on a slightly different role for a night.

Grade: C+

Tristan Enaruna

15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals

Enaruna can impact games with his size and physcality. He was a positive presence on both sides of the ball as a result. However, his lack of an outside shot will put a ceiling on him for the foreseeable future.

Grade: B+

Larry Nance Jr.

10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block

Nance got one final run this season with the youngings. He’s been playing more recently, and could be someone to watch as a ‘break glass’ option in the playoffs — even if it’s clear that he’s lost a step or two over the years.

Grade: B–

Rylie Minix

12 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 1 block

Minix nailed a one-legged jumper early in this game. He then proceeded to make hustle play after hustle play on defense. That’s enough for me, take your degree and have a great summer.

Grade: A+
