U-18 EC Division B: Searching for Hidden Gems
August 6, 2007
Out of the pretty talented Hungarian team, this wing stands out thanks to his skill set, nice feel for the game and excellent physical-athletic profile. Showing a good frame, pretty long at 6-7, quick, able to consistently play above the rim, potentially he looks great. Hanga impresses whenever he takes his opponent off the dribble and attacks the rim for the dunk. He's pretty explosive, displaying a very good first step and nice handles to execute direction changes and drive at full speed. Besides, he showcases a nice shot, being able to net three-pointers out to NBA range, usually in spot-up fashion, where he shows average quickness in the release. He can also fire off the dribble, normally from mid-range distances, but he's not nearly as prolific. Indeed he settles for way too many perimeter shots, wasting his slashing abilities, that should provide easy and regular production for him and his teammates. And all in spite of that fact that he sometimes takes the ball up court as the team's point guard, but he fails to involve his teammates with consistency.

Hanga could be a bit of a lazy guy, disappearing from the court from time to time and settling for easy solutions that are not necessarily the best ones for his team. This is also reflected defensively, where he doesn't always display his best effort regardless of the good tools he enjoys. Still, he can eventually come up with nice steals in the passing lane or, in more spectacular fashion, fly for the block displaying good timing. It's highlight reel stuff without a solid defensive foundation supporting it.

In the end, the effort and work Hanga puts on the game will determine the success he will eventually achieve. He certainly has the and the talent to become an excellent basketball player.
