David Emil Andersen (born 23 June 1980) is an Australian professional basketball player. He also holds a Danish passport because he has a Danish father and an Australian mother.^[1]

Player profile

Andersen played in the Euroleague for 9 seasons before moving to the NBA, and was a part of three Euroleague championship teams: Virtus Bologna in 2001, and CSKA Moscow in 2006 and 2008. He did not play during the 2006 Euroleague playoffs, as he was injured, but he still was on CSKA's team that season that won the championship.

He is a power forward/center. In Europe, he is not known for being a defensive player and rebounder for his size, but for being a good offensive power forward/center that could both spread the floor and score in the low post.

Professional career

Andersen started playing basketball with Frankston and as a teenager before he moved to the Australian Institute of Sport. He signed his first professional contract was with the Wollongong Hawks of the Australian National Basketball League in 1998. After just one year, he moved to the Italian A League and signed a multi-year contract with Virtus Bologna, with whom he won numerous titles in his four-year span with the team. After the team went into bankruptcy in the summer of 2003, he moved to the Italian club Montepaschi Siena, with whom he won another Italian Championship.

The following season he moved again, this time to the Russian Superleague A club CSKA Moscow. Andersen earned an All-Euroleague First Team selection in the 2004–05 Euroleague season, when CSKA made it to the Euroleague Final Four. Before the 2008–09 season, he transferred to the Spanish ACB League club FC Barcelona. With FC Barcelona, he won the Spanish Championship.

In the summer of 2011, Andersen went back to Europe by signing a contract with Montepaschi Siena.^[2] In the summer of 2012, he signed with Fenerbahçe Ülker.^[3]

In January 2014, he signed with Strasbourg IG for the rest of the season.^[4]

NBA

Andersen was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 37th draft pick in the 2002 NBA Draft. On 14 July 2009, his NBA draft rights were traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the Houston Rockets for $2 million cash and a future second round draft pick.^[5]^[6] The Rockets then paid a $500,000 contract buyout to Andersen's Spanish club FC Barcelona. Andersen then signed a 3-year contract with the Rockets worth $7.5 million, with the third year of the contract being a team option.^[7]

On 28 July 2010, Andersen was traded to the Toronto Raptors for a protected second round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.^[8]

On 20 November 2010, Andersen was traded along with Jarrett Jack and Marcus Banks to the New Orleans Hornets for Jerryd Bayless and Peja Stojaković.^[9]
