Adam Hanga Selected With the 59th Pick

Don't know much about him either but a lot of the experts are saying good things about him and saying he could be a major steal.

He's a 6'6 SG who's apparently a pretty good athlete. According to DX he's a very good shooter and a very solid all around offensive player.

He's put up some very impressive numbers in the Hungarian league, but it is a inferior league. Hopefully he pans out.

Because of his height he is listed as a Small Forward/Shooting Guard but Adam is more of a combo-guard. He can play partial time at the point guard position too, he has good ball handling skills, great slashing ability and good court vision. When it comes to offense he can do it all: finishing around the rim in every way possible (dunk, right hand, left hand, acrobatic moves, floater etc.), drawing faults, shooting from outside, finding the open man etc.

I don't know how good of an athlete he will be in the NBA (if he will go over there) but in Europe he is considered an atheltic player, who has a very fast first step.

He must gain some weight though, because he is really skinny right now. But I'm sure in the ACB they will lock him in the weith room.

I was watching highlight reels of him and I'm not sure if the added weight will be beneficial to him. Some players are less mobile/athletic with added weight/muscle and they become lesser players as a result of that. Judging by the highlights, the best thing he could do is improve on his mid-range game and his shooting off the dribble. He's better off being skinny if he wants to have the mobility to play the combo-guard position.

Well he has size and looks like a NBA player... and is actually his age. Lets hope he becomes something with some time.
