Early life

Professional career
[edit]Hanga began his career with the Hungarian club, Albacomp, in 2006, at the age of 17, and stayed with the Székesfehérvár-based club until 2011. In June 2009, he was invited to the Adidas Eurocamp, an event that is held annually in Treviso, for top-flight players, aged between 18 and 21. After three days of training and scrimmages, he was ranked the sixth best non-U.S. player in his age group.[4] The 2010–11 season turned out to be his breakout year, as he dominated the Hungarian League.
In May 2011, he moved to the Spanish League, signing with Bàsquet Manresa.[5][6] The San Antonio Spurs selected Hanga with the 59th pick in the 2011 NBA draft.
In July 2013, Hanga signed a four-year deal with the Spanish club Baskonia.[7] In August 2014, he was loaned to the Italian League team Sidigas Avellino, for the 2014–15 season.[8] Hanga came back to Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on 11 May 2015 for the final games of the 2014–15 ACB season, after finishing the Lega Basket season with Avellino.[9] On 28 June 2017 Hanga was registered by Baskonia for the right of first refusal.[10] On 9 July 2017 Hanga signed an offer sheet with FC Barcelona Lassa.[11] On 12 July 2017 Baskonia matched the offer sheet to Hanga, keeping Hanga in their roster.[12] On 23 July 2017 Hanga re-signed with Baskonia, through the 2019–20 season.[13][14]
On 22 August 2017 Baskonia and FC Barcelona reached an agreement for the transfer of Hanga to the Catalan club.[15] On 9 July 2019 Barcelona Bàsquet announced Hanga had extended his contract with the club until 2022, with an option to continue through 2023.[16] On 16 July 2021 Hanga parted ways with the club after four seasons together.[17]
On 23 July 2021 Hanga signed a two-year deal with Liga ACB archrivals Real Madrid.[18] On 24 June 2023 Real Madrid informed the player that they would not pick up his contract option and he would become a free agent.

On July 4, 2024, he signed with Joventut Badalona of the Spanish Liga ACB.[20]
