It does not take a lot to sum up Andi. She may be young, but she has undoubtedly already made her mark on European basketball. A series of European Championship medals, an All Star Five selection at U20 level, a World Championship appearance all stand as proof of Andi's towering talent.
Andrea got her affinity for basketball from her father, a former Hungarian national team and First Division star. Her main attributes as a seasoned, yet young professional are superb fundamentals, coolness under pressure, athleticism, technical excellence and great shooting hands. Andi is fast on her feet, able to read the game and has the knack of making the right decisions in critical situations. An outstanding feature of her game is speed off the mark, combined with the physical strength necessary to become a marquee player in modern women's basketball. The direction is only upwards for Andrea Somogyi, as she gains the experience and street wise knowhow, which only the years can add to an elite athlete's repertoire..
