Hedo Turkoglu

Hidayet Türkoğlu, widely known as Hedo Turkoglu (born March 19, 1979 in İstanbul), is a professional basketball player, and the first Turkish-born player in NBA history. He was selected by the Sacramento Kings in the first round (overall 16th pick) of the 2000 NBA Draft from one of İstanbul's and Turkey's top clubs, Efes Pilsen. In 2002 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 San Antonio Spurs; the Spurs also acquired Ron Mercer from the Pacers. Most recently he has signed with the Orlando Magic when he became a free agent in 2004. He is still playing for the Magic.
