# 1994–95 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 1994–95 NBA season was the Bucks' 27th season in the National Basketball Association. The Bucks held the right to select first overall in the 1994 NBA draft, the third time in franchise history, after 1969 and 1977–, and selected Glenn Robinson out of Purdue University. During the off-season, the team signed free agents Marty Conlon, Johnny Newman, and Alton Lister, and acquired Ed Pinckney from the Boston Celtics.
However, after a 5–3 start to the regular season, the Bucks went on a nine-game losing streak between November and December, and played below .500 for the remainder of the season, holding a 19–29 record at the All-Star break. Eric Murdock played half of the season off the bench, being replaced with Lee Mayberry as the team's starting point guard. The Bucks finished in sixth place in the Central Division with a 34–48 record, missing the playoffs finishing just one game behind the 8th-seeded Boston Celtics.
Robinson had a stellar rookie season as he averaged 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, was named the NBA All-Rookie First Team, and finished in third place in Rookie of the Year voting. In addition, second-year star Vin Baker continued to improve averaging 17.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and was selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix, Arizona, while Todd Day provided the team with 16.0 points per game, and led them with 163 three-point field goals. Murdock contributed 13.0 points, 6.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game, while off the bench, Conlon averaged 9.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, Newman contributed 7.7 points per game, and Mayberry provided with 5.8 points and 3.4 assists per game.
Following the season, Pinckney was left unprotected in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft, where he was selected by the newly expansion Toronto Raptors, and Jon Barry signed as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors.
