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—, which they used to select Glenn Robinson out of Purdue University. During the offseason, they signed free agents Marty Conlon, Johnny Newman and Alton Lister. Robinson had a stellar rookie season as he led the Bucks with 21.9 points per game, and made the All-Rookie First Team. Second-year star Vin Baker continued to improve averaging 17.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, while being selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game. 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. They finished sixth in the Central Division with a 34–48 record, missing the playoffs finishing just one game behind the 8th-seeded Boston Celtics.
