Hersey Hawkins working with Blazers rookie

[tornado]

"(Elliott) Williams spends much time working with former NBA guard Hersey Hawkins – now the Blazers’ player programs director –
before and after practice, and before games.

“Hard work pays off,” Hawkins says. “Elliot is one of the guys there every day early putting in the time – twice on game days.

“I really like his confidence. He believes he should be out on the court, and he plays like it.”

Elliott is a lucky young man to have the Hawk working with him.
