Enaruna's story is a patience-and-development one. The Dutch wing bounced through three colleges — Kansas, Iowa State, then Cleveland State — went undrafted in 2024, and spent his first pro year with Maine averaging a quiet 11 a night. The leap in 2025-26 was real: he nearly doubled his scoring to 20.3 points on 54.8% shooting for the Cleveland Charge and was named the G League's Most Improved Player. That earned a two-way deal with the Cavaliers on January 28, 2026, and his first NBA minutes — nine games of modest production as he adjusted to the speed. His NBA footprint is still small, so the honest read is a promising two-way project, not an established rotation piece. The efficiency jump hints at a real feel that's starting to translate up a level.
