I'd say Jennings-Ellis-Dunleavy-Udoh-Sanders is probably my personal favorite option. But Dunleavy is pretty entrenched in that bench role he's in. If we're working in a world of reality, I'd say replace Dunleavy with Mbah a Moute and Udoh with Ersan.
Jennings-Ellis-Moute-Ersan-Sanders. That gives them a bit more hope offensively than if Udoh was in for Ersan. At least in theory.
In a world not based in reality, I'd like to see Ellis coming off the bench, perhaps in favor of Daniels or Dunleavy at the two. But that'll never happen.

Jennings, Ellis, Mbah Moute, Sanders, Dalembert. Obviously interior and perimeter defense is the issue, WHY NOT STACK THE FRONTCOURT WITH DEFENSE? We still don't lose O because Sanders and Mbah Moute both can score the ball. Even Sam had some big games earlier in the year. Let Dunleavy come off the bench as a 2 gaurd and Daniels as the 3, that's enough veteran fire power to keep in the game while backcourt rests.

My favorite D line-up: Jennings, Daniels, Mbah a Moute, Udoh, Sanders
My favorite O line-up: Jennings, Dunleavy, Harris, Henson, Sanders
We need to do something different NOW lineup: Urdih, Ellis, Dunleavy, Ilyasova, Sanders

I'd love to see Jennings-Daniels-Mbah a Moute-Sanders-Dalembert
Ellis coming off the bench would be great, especially because the team seems to be better with one of them on the bench. Dunleavy doesn't want to start, so don't make him.
The rebounding power of Sanders and Dalembert would be a nice combo to have, and Udoh can come of the bench to provide support.

Who thinks if Ers keeps showing up the starting lineup should be Monta, BJ, Moute, Sanders, and Ers? It's hard not to like Sanders play so far this season, Moute has looked good since his return, Ersan seems to be coming back to form, and the other two are no-brainers. This seems to be the popular opinion.

Skiles was asked after the game if he prefers Ersan off the bench as opposed to starting:
"We're 15 and 12, glad to have a win, but I don't think we're a finished product yet. We're still trying to figure out some things."
So it sounds like he doesn't have a set role for everyone yet. The team is still playing its way into certain roles, but if Ilysaova keeps having success off the bench, perhaps he'll find that's the right role for him. I think it needs to be a natural development.

I think the best lineup the Bucks can have on the floor is Udrih-Jennings-Dunleavy-Ilyasova-Sanders. However, there's no way Skiles will begin a game with Ellis on the bench, and he definitely wants Dunleavy in the sixth man role.
So, realistically, Jennings-Ellis-Daniels-Udoh-Sanders is probably my favorite. The "Twin Towers" duo front court has proved to play well together on both sides of the ball, and Daniels can offset the backcourt's perimeter shots with his ability to slash and get inside.

this is one of my favorite realistic lineups, right now with daniels and luc starting we have good defense but no offense so we need either ersan or dunleavy to be put into starting lineup instead of daniels i would prefer dunleavy cause hes more all around but dunleavy cant stop the durants in this league which is why think luc is MUST start at small forward not power forward

According to the NBA.com +/- stats for 5 man line-ups:
Tied for 1st: Jennings/Ellis/Dunleavy/Ersan/Udoh (+27, 24 minutes)
Udrih/Lamb/Dunleavy/Ersan/Udoh (+27, 22 minutes)
The next actually has viable minutes logged (40:22) and is my favorite starting 5 at +22, to echo @ColeBtBP: Jennings, Ellis, Daniels, Udoh, Sanders.
Looking at the 3/4/5 team +/- stats just shows how important our 2nd unit is. Our 3 man combinations are bolstered by Udoh, Udrih, Lamb, and Dunleavy.
