     Hedo Turkoglu-G/F-SunsSep. 5 - 3:59 pm et
    Hedo Turkoglu scored 20 points (including 4-of-7 from downtown) to lead the Turkish national team past France on Sunday.
    The event is being held in Turkey, and the home court advantage could propel Hedo and co. into the medal rounds. They'll soon face stiffer competition than France, however, and they're bound to cool off against better defenses (overall, the Turkish team made 72% of their 2-pointers and 47% of their 3-pointers.).
     Goran Dragic-G-SunsSep. 5 - 3:51 pm et
    Slovenia cruised past Australia and into the quarterfinals on Sunday, thanks largely to a barrage of efficient 3-point shooting (16-of-33 from downtown).
    Bucks center Primoz Brezec scored 12 points for Slovenia, and Suns guard Goran Dragic added 10 points and eight assists. Australia shot just 18-of-58 from the field, and even the presence of a healthy Andrew Bogut (elbow) probably wouldn't have made a big difference in this game.

     Yi Jianlian-F-WizardsSep. 5 - 10:27 am et
    Yi Jianlian recently had an MRI on his injured Achilles tendon, which came back negative.
    The Achilles was "inflamed a little bit," according to China's coach, but Jianlian is expected to play vs. Lithuania on Tuesday. China advanced to the elimination round despite going 1-4 during group play.

     Timofey Mozgov-C-KnicksSep. 5 - 10:20 am et
    The Knicks director of international scouting, Kevin Wilson, conceded that Russian center Timofey Mozgov is "very raw, he needs a lot of work."
    Mozgov has impressive size and athleticism, and is known for his excellent pick-and-roll ability, but he's going to have a big adjustment coming to the NBA. Fantasy owners take note: Wilson said that "the best thing is if [Mozgov] could progress from a 5-minute guy to a 15-minute guy."

     Dionte Christmas-G-76ersSep. 5 - 10:11 am et
    Dionte Christmas has decided to play in Turkey next season.
    Christmas went undrafted in 2009, played on Summer League teams for the Sixers and Clippers, and eventually signed with a team in Israel.

     J.R. Giddens-G-KnicksSep. 5 - 10:08 am et
    Free agent guard J.R. Giddens is expected to report to the Kings' training camp on a non-guaranteed contract.
    Giddens has played for the Celtics and Knicks in his short career, supporting the backcourt off the bench. Sacramento will have about 20 players attending their training camp which means Giddens must fight for a roster spot.

     Shaquille O'Neal-C-CelticsSep. 4 - 6:26 pm et
    Shaquille O'Neal recently praised the Celtics' unselfishness on offense, while disparaging his former teammates on the Cavaliers.
    "When I was with Cleveland, guys who couldn’t even play were worried about shots," said Shaq. "Why was Mo (Williams) taking 15 shots, and I’m only taking four? If LeBron takes 20 shots, that’s cool." Shaq, who attempted a career-low 8.7 shots per game last year, also considered the Hawks and Hornets before settling in Boston.
