What lineup do you guys want to see as our starting lineup going forward? I tried to throw all kinds of variety out there.

I assumed Haliburton, Bolton, Nixon, Jacobson, Conditt if any change at all. I am curious if there will be a change, but also know how slow Prohm is to make starting lineup changes.
My preferred starting lineup is Dedric Willoughby, Monte Morris, Jeff Grayer, Marcus Fizer, and George Niang. (All in their prime of course)
I feel like there are 2 options for an impending starting lineup change:
A) Haliburton, Nixon, Bolton, Jacobson, Conditt
or
B) Haliburton, Nixon, Bolton, Solomon, Conditt
A) Haliburton, Nixon, Bolton, Jacobson, Conditt
or
B) Haliburton, Nixon, Bolton, Solomon, Conditt
Nixon / Bolton / Jacobson went 9-32 FG and 3-13 3pt last night, bench em all tired of the bricks and bad shot selection. Lewis is our best shooter, he's no where near Nixon's level of defense but whats lock down D do if you cant score? Can we fuse those two together and form Lewixon?
I voted for B, as I think they would be great on defense, but may lack some offensive punch. Maybe subbing one of Nixon or Bolton for Lewis or Jackson? I don't know. None of these dudes seem consistent enough from distance, so maybe a full blown defensive lineup is how we win games.
I think Lewis may have escaped that doghouse for now.
Haliburton, Nixon, Bolton, Conditt, Jacobson
I like having Conditt on the floor with energy at the beginning of the game. Falling into a hole early is brutal for this team since we are not built to come from behind. That would let Jacobson start at the 4 and let him cover the weak-side rebound after Conditt contests a shot. If either big lacks energy or gets in trouble with fouls, bring in Solo.

Conditt needs to start over Jacobson but he wont. Wigginton couldnt even crack the starting lineup despite being one of the best players in the entire Big 12 on a .500 team.
I dont know whats going on with Jacobson this year but he's a dumpster fire on both ends of the court.

I feel like Haliburton, Nixon, Bolton, Young and Conditt are our best 5 players, but not sure about Young and Conditt on the floor at the same time.
While I agree that Conditt can't get into foul trouble, if he's going to be a starter in the future and is currently our best big man (I doubt there's a debate there), he needs to be starting. Everyone in the arena gets excited when that guy checks in, so why are you not starting him from the get go? I think Prohm makes that change and hopefully even something as small as that can give this team an edge.
For me, it's:
Nixon, Jackson, Bolton, Haliburton, Conditt.
Four best perimeter defenders around your best rim protector defensively. Offensively, four guards around one big means more space to drive / ball screen which should be what this team tries to do on offense since they are poor shooters.
Yes, it's a small lineup, but we don't rebound well even with two bigs on the floor so I'm not going to worry much about that.
