Hedo-Turkoglu
Hidayet Türkoğlu, sometimes called as Hedo/Hido Türkoğlu (born March 19, 1979 in Istanbul), is a Turkish professional basketball player, and the first Turkish-born player in NBA history.
He stands 208 centimetres (6' 10") tall and plays the small forward position. He is a solid shooter inside and outside the three point line. He is a versatile player who has played four positions from point guard to power forward during his career.
He was selected with the 16th pick by the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the 2000 NBA Draft from one of Istanbul's and Turkey's top clubs, Efes Pilsen. He was a finalist for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award in his sophomore season after averaging 10.1 points per game, 4.5 rebounds per game, and 2.0 assists per game coming off the bench.[1] In 2003 he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs in a three-team trade that sent Brad Miller of the Indiana Pacers to the Kings while acquiring Scot Pollard from the Kings and Danny Ferry from the Spurs; the Spurs also acquired Ron Mercer from the Pacers. He signed with the Orlando Magic when he became a free agent in 2004, where he remains. At the same time he is a player for the Turkish national basketball team.
