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 season, the Bucks went on a nine-game losing streak, and played below .500 for the remainder of the season. Eric Murdock played half of the season off the bench, being replaced with backup point guard Lee Mayberry in the lineup. The Bucks finished sixth in the Central Division with a 34–48 record, missing the playoffs finishing just one game
