The Warriors already added the best center prospect in the NBA draft Wednesday night, but as NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole reported, the team still is in the market for another big.
One name that hasn't been mentioned much this year just popped up on the NBA free agency radar, and he fits the bill of what the Warriors could be looking for: DeMarcus Cousins.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported shortly after free agency opened Friday, citing sources, that Cousins is getting attention from teams around the league.

Cousins signed a one-year contract with the Warriors before the 2018-19 season, and returned late in the season after recovering from a torn Achilles. He wasn't the All-Star caliber player we've come to expect, but Cousins showed flashes of his greatness.
During the NBA playoffs that year, Cousins tore his left quad, but returned and had a couple good games in the Warriors' NBA Finals loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Boogie signed a one-year contract with the Lakers last July, but tore his ACL a month later, another brutal blow for an All-NBA player who never was able to cash in on his talents.
Cousins never played for the eventual 2020 NBA champions as the Lakers cut him midway through the season.
Coming off two injury-plagued years, Cousins likely is looking at another one-year contract in order to prove that he is healthy. And the Warriors could be the ideal landing spot for him to build up his value.

The Warriors just drafted James Wiseman with the No. 2 overall pick in Wednesday's NBA draft, but they could use a veteran big man to eat some minutes and teach the ways of the NBA to the former Memphis center.
By all accounts, Cousins' time with the Warriors went well, so if he's looking for a soft landing spot where he knows most of the players and coaching staff, a return to the Warriors for one season makes a lot of sense for both sides.
