1994–95 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 1994–95 NBA season was the Bucks' 27th season in the National Basketball Association.[1] The Bucks held the right to select first overall in the 1994 NBA draft, the third time in franchise history, after 1969 and 1977–,[2][3] and selected Glenn Robinson out of Purdue University.[4][5][6][7][8] During the off-season, the team signed free agents Marty Conlon,[9][10] Johnny Newman,[11][12] and Alton Lister,[13] and acquired Ed Pinckney from the Boston Celtics.[14][15] However, after a 5–3 start to the season, the Bucks went on a nine-game losing streak between November and December,[16] and played below .500 for the remainder of the season, holding a 19–29 record at the All-Star break.[17] Eric Murdock played half of the season off the bench, being replaced with Lee Mayberry as the team's starting point guard.[18] The Bucks finished sixth in the Central Division with a 34–48 record, missing the playoffs finishing just one game behind the 8th-seeded Boston Celtics.[19]
