Another note from Westphal's press conference. He said developing young players is a priority but "we won't give young players playing time - they have to earn it."

Too often teams with losing records give playing time to young players who might have not earned it with good practice habits and solid play on gameday.

It sends a bad message: that the players are entitled to play. Yes, they need to play. But if they're not putting in the work, they'll learn more watching a player like Udoka do the right thing.
