Last season with Baskonia, Hanga averaged 10.55ppg, 4.42rpg, 2.39apg, 1.27spg, and shot 34-percent from three-point range.
The Hungarian wing is one of the most well-rounded players in Europe and his transfer to Barcelona has been in the rumor mill since early July.

Hanga is a crucial signing for Barcelona as the club was severely lacking in perimeter defense last season, especially when it came to their wing players. Hanga being the best wing defender not in the NBA will be vital to resurrecting that aspect of their team.
Hanga is Barcelona’s ninth signing of the summer, joining Thomas Heurtel, Adrien Moerman, Pierre Oriola, Sergi Martinez, Phil Pressey, Rakim Sanders, Marc Garcia (returning from loan), and Kevin Seraphin. He also reunites with his head coach from last season, Sito Alonso.
