I might venture he is trying to say: “if we are perceived as an organization as not caring about winning, then the kids may become complacent and not care about winning. Even when the organization decides that it’s time to start caring about winning.”

I think he also wants the kids to work for minutes in an attempt to make them value playing in the way Josh Hart values playing. In other words if you can coast and get minutes you might continue to coast. If you are trained to fight for the minutes then you will continue to fight for them even after you get them.

You can say that this might not be the best approach, but I think his logic is sound.

Yeah that's how I read it too. I might not agree with the logic since I'd rather be giving minutes to Kira since results with guys like Bledsoe haven't been much better, but I understand what he's getting at.

What he saying isn't wrong. When these guys get their opportunity, they should play like it's their last game. If they struggle shooting or scoring, the effort needs to be Josh Hart like in the other parts of their game. Learning how to play winning ball in the NBA is tough and every opportunity they get on the court needs to have the energy you saw from Hayes last night.
