NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The
1992β93 NBA season was the Bucks' 25th season in the
National Basketball Association .
[1] In the
1992 NBA draft , the Bucks selected
Todd Day with the eighth overall pick, and
Lee Mayberry with the 23rd overall pick, both from the
University of Arkansas .
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6] During the off-season, the team acquired
Blue Edwards and second-year guard
Eric Murdock from the
Utah Jazz ,
[7]
[2]
[8]
[9] and hired
Mike Dunleavy as their new Head Coach and General Manager.
[10]
[11]
[12] The Bucks got off to a strong start, winning 10 of their first 13 games. However, they would struggle as they went on an 11-game losing streak in December, then posted a 7-game losing streak in January, and held a 20β31 record at the All-Star break,
[13] as
Moses Malone only played just eleven games due to a back injury.
[14]
[15]
[16] At midseason, the team traded
Alvin Robertson to the
Detroit Pistons in exchange for
Orlando Woolridge , who only played in just eight games for the team due to a broken hand injury,
[17]
[18]
[19]
[20] while the team signed free agent
Derek Strong . The Bucks lost their final eight games of the season, finishing last place in the Central Division with a disappointing 28β54 record.
[21]
Edwards and
Frank Brickowski both led the Bucks in scoring, averaging 16.9 points per game each, with Brickowski averaging 6.1 rebounds per game and Edwards contributing 1.6 steals per game, while Murdock provided the team with 14.4 points, 7.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and finished in second place in
Most Improved Player voting.
[22]
[23]
[24] In addition, Day averaged 13.8 points per game, but was not selected to an All-Rookie Team at season's end, while rookie forward
Anthony Avent contributed 9.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, and
Brad Lohaus provided with 9.1 points per game off the bench.
[25]
Following the season, Malone and Woolridge both left for free agency and signed with the
Philadelphia 76ers , whom Malone used to play for,
[26]
[27]
[28] and with Woolridge signing during the next season,
[29]
[30] and
Fred Roberts was released.
