The point guard, a player developed in the ACB and European competition, arrives in Bilbao after an excellent season in which he averaged 13.9 points, 8.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds in the BCL with Hungarian side Szolnoki Olaj, which has made him the best point guard in assists per game in the competition. In the domestic league, his assist numbers are even better, distributing 9.8 per game. On May 16th, he surpassed his own record with 20 assists in the second game of the finals against Falco Szombathely. Somogyi signs with Surne Bilbao through 2028.

Somogyi has had two experiences in Liga Endesa, the first of them playing 26 games with Morabanc Andorra in the 2023-24 season. In that campaign, the point guard completed several notable performances being important in victories against Monbus Obradoiro (20 rating in 13 minutes), Joventut away (8 points and 6 assists in 15 minutes) and Baskonia (8 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in 15 minutes).

Sports Director's Opinion
"Adam Somogyi is a point guard who comes from leading his team over the last two seasons. He stands out especially for his passing quality and his reading of pick-and-roll situations. He also has the ability to score both in penetrations and short-range shots. He has greatly improved his three-point range and his three-point threat over the last two seasons. We like that he is a point guard with size, with height, with good physicality. He can give us good defensive performance and help with rebounding. Because of that he is capable of generating fast-break situations in open court both finishing and assisting his teammates. We are signing a point guard who is a good floor general and who will surely adapt well to our style of play".
