After seeing the world, David Hawkins looks to stick with Sixers.
Byline: Joe Juliano
Aug. 20--In the last year, David Hawkins has been all over the world.
He went to China with the Houston Rockets during the 2004 preseason. He competed professionally in Italy. He played for the Washington Wizards' summer-league team in Las Vegas.
However, by the way he is hustling and shooting and playing defense during this week's 76ers mini-camp, Hawkins is focused on a goal to drop anchor for the 2005-06 NBA season in Philadelphia.
"I'd love to stay in Philly," said Hawkins, the third-leading career scorer in the history of Temple basketball. "I feel comfortable here. I'm from Washington but [the Wizards] never were my favorite team. I always liked the Sixers, to be honest. I also have a lot of family in Philly."
Hawkins, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound guard, is one of eight players in camp with no contractual ties to the Sixers. With president and general manager Billy King possibly looking to bring three or four extra bodies to October's training camp, it's fair to say that Hawkins has a shot to get that far.
At least Hawkins has impressed head coach Maurice Cheeks.
