Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu will be awarded the NBA's Most Improved Player award Monday, according to a report in the Orlando Sentinel. Turkoglu, who averaged 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists this season, hasn't just grown up in the boxscore, he's also become the reliable wing scorer for the Magic. The Magic's rise to the Southeast Division title was in no small part thanks to Turkoglu's dynamic offense, and clutch shots. Turkoglu has hit a few big shots for the Magic this year, and always seems to come up with a huge bucket for them when they need it.
Turkoglu has become the most successful current player from the vaunted Kings core from early in the decade, and having found consistent playing time, has developed into a star. He's also the best Turkish-born player in NBA history. Mostly because he was, you know, the first.
Also, Hidayet is continuing a long line of ridiculous player websites.

1. Good for him. It's well deserved considering he outplayed the One Hundred(18) Dollar Man!
