    Spencer Hawes, who the 76ers acquired in a trade with the Kings last week, is focused on playing in the post more next season.

    "I have been focusing on this summer, kind of getting stronger, trying to get back down to the post," said the center.

    Hawes admitted that coming into the NBA as the tenth overall pick in 2007 he didn't possess the strength needed to bang in the post as he had in college.

    "Coming in as a 19- and 20-year-old, I didn't necessarily have the strength to be able to hold my own as much down there," said Hawes.

    "Now having grown up a little bit, I think that's something I'm getting to be more effective at. I would like to try to reestablish that as a strong suit."
