Raptors To Limit Hedo’s National Team Play
Toronto Raptors General Manager Bryan Colangelo is so concerned about SF Hedo Turkoglu’s physical condition this offseason that he said he will challenge how the former Magic star is used by his Turkish national team in this summer’s world championships.
“I’m going to be emphatic about it if I have to be,” Colangelo said.
Turkoglu has said he will play, considering that his native Turkey is hosting the tournament.
Colangelo hopes he can work with FIBA – the International Basketball Association – and the NBA to help monitor the playing and practice time for players whose 82-game seasons often include postseason play.

Hedo looks more rusty than tired to me. He lost lot of his quickness compared to the last year with Orlando. I like him as a player, but it I think he is on decline, getting old and slow, and Colangelo spent way too much $ on him.
