25. Hedo Turkoglu, Turkey

Hedo Turkoglu had a long and quite successful career in the NBA, spanning 15 seasons, playing a total of 997 games for six clubs.

His career average of 11.1 points per game would have been higher except that he played on for three seasons too long. In the last three years of his career, Turkoglu averaged just over three points per game, only playing a total of 111 games.

Turkoglu was a good three point shooter, his 38.4 percent from beyond the arc is good without being great, hitting 1.2 three pointers per game for his career.

Turkoglu was a reasonable rebounding player. Due to the fact that he floated between small forward and power forward, his average of 4.0 per game could have been more had he have locked into a single position.

Turkoglu does not have the huge list of individual honors that a lot of other players seem to accrue. He was named to the All Rookie Second Team in 2000-01.

He also won the Most Improved Player award in 2007-08 season, which coincidentally was the only season he played all 82 games.
