NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The
1993β94 NBA season was the Bucks' 26th season in the
National Basketball Association .
[1] In the
1993 NBA draft , the Bucks selected
Vin Baker from the
University of Hartford with the eighth overall pick.
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6] During the off-season, the team signed free agent
Ken Norman .
[7]
[8]
[9] However, the Bucks struggled all season long posting a 10-game losing streak early into the season, and held a 14β34 record at the All-Star break.
[10] At midseason,
Frank Brickowski was traded to the
Charlotte Hornets , while second-year forward
Anthony Avent was dealt to the
Orlando Magic , and
Danny Schayes was sold to the
Los Angeles Lakers .
[11]
[12]
[13]
[14] The Bucks went on to lose 22 of their final 25 games, including a nine-game losing streak in April, finishing last place in the Central Division with a franchise worst record of 20β62,
[15] a record that stood for 20 years until the
2013β14 team posted a 15β67 record during the first year of the future Bucks' superstar
Giannis Antetokounmpo era.
Eric Murdock led the team with 15.3 points, 6.7 assists and 2.4 steals per game, while Baker averaged 13.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Second-year guard
Todd Day provided the team with 12.7 points and 1.4 steals per game, while Norman provided with 11.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and
Blue Edwards contributed 11.6 points per game.
[16] Following the season, Norman was traded to the
Atlanta Hawks ,
[17]
[18] while Edwards and
Derek Strong were both dealt to the
Boston Celtics ,
[19]
[20] and
Brad Lohaus signed as a free agent with the
Miami Heat .
[21]
For the season, the Bucks changed their primary logo, which showed a more regal looking buck, ditching their previous logo of a cartoonish buck spinning a basketball.
[22] The team also added new uniforms with side panels on their shorts, plus adding purple to their color scheme of dark green.
[23]
[24] The new logo remained in use until 2006, while the uniforms lasted until 2001, where they added purple, and green side panels to the side of their home and road jerseys respectively.
