line ups when the 4 players out come back

Not a chance. That lineup is a lane clogger. THT needs to be in there and let Lard go to work in the lane.
THe way THT is coming on, I don't see him coming out of the lineup. Haliburton will eventually come off the bench. Wigginton will be an instant starter when he's healthy.
Lard will really have to earn it, IMO.
Talley will be a bench/energy guy.
Lewis and Zion will see their minutes drop to near zero when everyone's back.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Solo is back.
When/if we're at full strength the lineups will be endless and we can play big or small to suit matchups. We have the depth so that foul trouble and OT games shouldn't be a concern.

This is exactly right. Jacobson, being an energy/effort guy, is going to be more valuable with 15-20 minutes than with 30+.
You really just have to see if Lard and Jacobsen can be effective playing together and go from there. Throw in Young once he’s back.
That aint happening..
Prohm feels this team is far better at small ball and running the floor...Now vs big teams at times I can def see Jacobson and lard at same time sure.
THT is too talented to not start.
I think Lard and Talley will have to earn their minutes when they come back. I don't think either will start. Effort and attitude will need to be on par with the guys playing now. When we get everyone back, we will have enough quality depth that CSP won't have to play anyone who doesn't put the team before themselves.
I’m definitely starting to see the possibilities of Jacobson as a stretch 4. His all around game has been very impressive.

Yes I agree. The people saying Lard and Jacobson can’t play together are wrong. Jacobson can spread the floor enough so I see no problem with playing both at the same time.
Young and Lard did fine together last year.
No reason to think we can’t use Jacobson with one of the other two.
Yeah, he can put the ball on the floor and shoot from distance. Probably don’t want him shooting 8 threes a game, but 2 or 3 would be fine with me.
I just don't see how you take 16 points and 7 rebounds out of the starting lineup. This isn't a Percy Gibson like scenario where the guy is benefiting from dump offs from better players around him to score his points from point blank. He's creating for himself, he's spacing the floor, he's rebounding, he's defending, he's doing it all and he's doing it efficiently. I don't expect him to sustain 16 points a game but I feel he's earned his spot for the time being. Make Lard earn it back.
Jacobsen makes an even better stretch 5
. The game evolved past that stretch 4 fad in a hurry.
Yeah, I agree he’s won that spot. I’m just more curious if a lineup with Jake and Lard together would be more effective than a lineup with one of them at a time. Our guards seem to be really good rebounders, and nobody can score in the post anymore so it really doesn’t hurt that much to play a more skilled guard at the 4 instead of playing two bigs.
If Jaco continues as he has been so far this season, it's going to be hard to keep him off the floor. He can run and score. Furthermore, there seems to be a little Niang to his game with better defense and athleticism.
I feel like having Jacobson and Lard on the court at the same time could be a lethal combo. Mike's shooting and passing could create some amazing high/low post play with Lard.
I think your top 5 plus Lard are going to be the 6 player who get by far the most minutes with Halli, Talley and Young (if healthy), Conditt (if not) filling in gaps.
I'm really looking forward to Jaco and Lard on the floor at the same time. Lard's energy and physicality down low should free up Jaco to run, score, facilitate opportunities for other players along with some duty on the defensive glass and post. Combine those two with 3 hottest hands of LW/NWB/Shayok/THT on a given night....oh, man #thrills!
