Ádám Hanga (Hungarian: Hanga Ádám, born 12 April 1989) is a Hungarian professional basketball player who currently plays for Baskonia of the Liga ACB. His NBA rights were acquired by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2011 NBA Draft, as the 59th pick of the draft.
Hanga was born to a Hungarian mother and an Equatoguinean father, who studied in Hungary that time. His father left the family when Ádám was 3 years old and he was brought up by his mother and maternal grandparents.
Hanga began his career by 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. 2010 turned out to be his breakout season, as he dominated the Hungarian league. In May 2011 he moved to the Spanish championship, signing for Bàsquet Manresa.
In July 2013, Hanga signed a four-year deal with Baskonia. In August 2014, he was loaned to the Italian team Sidigas Avellino for the 2014–15 season. Hanga came back to Vitoria-Gasteiz on May 11, 2015, for the final games of the 2014–15 ACB season, after finishing the Lega Basket season with Avellino.
