Hedo Fatigued: The Phoenix Suns need forward Hedo Turkoglu, who they acquired in an offseason trade with the Toronto Raptors, to have one of the best years of his career if they're going to make it back to the playoffs. So far he's off to a slow start, averaging nine points, three rebounds and two assists. It's going to take him some time to find his comfort zone as a Sun, but he also has to find his second wind as his participation in the FIBA World Championships has him feeling fatigued.
"This was one great summer, but a very long one too. That is why I feel some fatigue. I went through training camp and now I am in the regular season. There simply is no time. I have to give my best and just move on.
"As soon as the World Championships were over, I flew to the states. There was no time for a vacation. It was important for me to come over here on time for training camp and the season."
While tired, Hedo definitely doesn't have any regrets playing for Turkey.
"When I look back and see what we as the Turkish National Team accomplished at the World Championships, it was absolutely worth it," confirmed Turkoglu. "I have nothing negative to say about the experience. And for the tiredness, as Americans would say 'That's part of the job!' It's up to me now to find some time to rest between the games and play at the highest level I can.
