Good question.
In terms of seeing what he has, Kidd does seem to be asking some players to stretch their comfort zones, likely thinking that they might have it in them. The podders think that even Kidd probably doesn't expect 100% of these experiments to work, but a few probably will, and they don't think he will insist on sticking to them if they're clearly not working after being given a reasonable chance.
I guess one way to look at it would be that these guys are being given a chance, assuming they want one.
