    Option A: If I set the member to Sprite2D, it expands out the struct in the editor, and I can't just drag and drop a an image from an atlas on to it. If instead I define the sprites like Option B, I can drag the image from the atlas, But then in the code I have an Entity and I can't figure out how to convert the Entity back to Sprite2D to do anything with it.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. // option A
    2.         public Sprite2D leftSprite, rightSprite, frontSprite, backSprite;
    3.  
    4. // option B
    5.         [EntityWithComponents(new[] { typeof(Sprite2D) })]
    6.         public Entity leftSprite, rightSprite, frontSprite, backSprite;
    7.

    Sprite2DRenderer.sprite is an Entity field so you can use option B and assign your sprite entities to it directly.

    Sprite2D
    is a component, it is expected to expand as a struct in the inspector. You have to use option B as @Gnome suggested. The 
    new[]
    is not necessary thought:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. [EntityWithComponents(typeof(Sprite2D))]
    2. public Entity mySprite;
