I finally saw the games replayed.
After these bunch of games since you bought RRubio's contract, I feel I have enough elements to give my first impression about the guys:
Impressive W at Massachussets. They got under JayJays' skin and mentally pushed BOS out of the game.
This Halihielgdon triple PG axis looks too good considering they barely played two games together.
If it's actually sustainable.... this could be in the future one of the most sophisticated mass-destruction small weapon of the entire League.
Sorta reverse CLECaus BigBall trio.
The three of them can shoot long range, can dribble and attack the rim and can pass.
But they are sooo different:
Malcom is all about brains and game-reading: the most pure PG out of them.
Hield is all about feelings, aggressiveness and self-confidence from deep.
Haliburton is probably the most naturally talented... he can't still match Brogdon's IQ and leadership at court but he's showing a great attitude and learning capacity to became a Top Level Team Commmander some day. He's now a high level guard with only 21.
Duarte mixed well with any of them coming from the bench to keep the triplet of guards the same impactful and Duane was modestly holding the ground.
Improvised Bigs rotation but working smoothly so far.
Brisset looks pretty immune to mismatch. He can guard both small and tall men and shows the right mindset and hustle all the time. He has some natural instinct for positioning himself at the right spots all around the floor both ends.
By no means he will be always such a killer in catch'n'shoot 3p as he looked against Gaelics but he's a legit spacing-maker.
Jackson is deceptive. Looks not-so-tall not-so-muscular but he can match bigger guys out of balance, agility and proper reading.
Current Carlisle systems allows him to spare body-banging and he's excelling by the mean of not playing into the paint but just showing himself there in lightning executions on attack or defense, catching defenders and attackers off guard many times.
Perfect small-ball Center.
I'm confused about some disconnections from the game he's having... dumb ones at times but I can put that into the bag of unexpierence. Easily fixable.
Goga is the only natural Center alive and kicking in the roster. Deceptive in a worse manner.
He has the size, the fundamentals, the toughness and even the talent and comprehension of the game.
He needs to find a way to hold his sh*t together and get the right focus at court. Soon.
As he is now, he can do some job and be positive for the team in limited minutes but I feel like he can't figure out yet the best way to put his skills at work.
Jalen looks very good as a stretch-5.
Less reliable anchoring the paint though he's bigger and stronger than Jackson.
All in all, doing a great job and helping the team to win.
