DeMarcus Cousins, who is only 31 years old, still has a lot left in his tank to offer a team. He may not be the all star DeMarcus of the recent past due to injuries suffered over the past few years but he still can be very serviceable for 15-20 minutes a game as a back up center as well as a situational starter. DeMarcus will give the Bucks some much needed size, experience behind Brook Lopez who is currently out with lower back issues but is scheduled to return in the next week or two. A Lopez-Cousins center tandem will be an upgrade at center for a team coming off of a 2021 NBA title.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer expects DeMarcus Cousins to be available Wednesday night against the visiting Charlotte Hornets.
The Bucks announced Tuesday they officially signed the veteran and four-time All-Star, who earned second-team All-NBA honors in 2015 and 2016.
Cousins will attempt to boost a Bucks frontcourt that is missing injured center Brook Lopez.
"DeMarcus is incredibly talented, and his size, toughness and experience will help us," Bucks general manager Jon Horst said in a statement. "He will provide added depth to our frontcourt rotation and we look forward to working him into our system."
The Bucks (13-8) have won seven consecutive games but have been dealing with frontcourt issues due to the absence of Lopez, who hasn't played since a season-opening victory over the Brooklyn Nets because of a back injury.
Cousins should help in that regard, even if the 31-year-old forward no longer is in All-Star form.
