Don’t be fooled by Hedo’s season averages: 10.2 ppg, 4.2 rpg and 2.9 apg. In seven games since being traded Hedo is averaging 12.9 ppg, 4.9 rbs and 5.0 ast. While his numbers are better than they were with the Raptors and Suns, they are lower than what he averaged in 2008-09, his last season with the Magic. Turkoglu’s numbers should eventually return to what he averaged in his last season with the Magic, 16.8 ppg, 5.4 rbs and 4.9 ast.

Hedo is already putting up more shots then he did in Toronto and Phoenix, but he is still below ten shots per game, but the upwards trend will continue because Hedo hasn’t put up less than ten shots per game since his days in Sacramento and then in San Antonio.

With Marcin Gortat and Rashard Lewis gone, Hedo will be forced to play a little more at the four. But don’t count for a great increase in rebounds because he is more likely to play a stretch four and draw his man away from the basket for a mid range jumper (45 percent from the field), shot over bigger and slower defenders that cannot get to him in time (40 percent from beyond the arc) or simply take them off the dribble. Oh yes, he can still get the ball to Dwight Howard down low.
