The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to sign guard Nik Stauskas to a one-year deal, his agent told ESPN's Zach Lowe.

Stauskas spent the 2019-20 campaign with Spanish club Kirolbet Baskonia. The Sacramento Kings drafted him eighth overall in 2014.

The 27-year-old bounced around five NBA teams before trying his luck in Europe this past season.

Stauskas' best NBA campaign came in 2016-17 when he started 27 games and averaged 9.5 points. The Michigan product is a career 35.3% 3-point shooter.

As a collegiate freshman, Stauskas started on a Wolverines squad that reached the national championship game. The following year, he was named Big Ten Player of the Year and earned All-Big Ten first-team honors.
