With the addition of Robinson, Conlon and Newman, the Bucks got off to a 5–3 start to the regular season, but then struggled posting a nine-game losing streak between November and December afterwards, and falling below .500 in winning percentage.[15] The team played .500 basketball with an 8–8 record in January, and later on held a 19–29 record at the All-Star break.[16] Eric Murdock played half of the season off the bench, being replaced with Lee Mayberry as the team's starting point guard.[17] The Bucks won six of their final nine games of the season, and finished in sixth place in the Central Division with a 34–48 record, missing the NBA playoffs by finishing just one game behind the 8th-seeded Boston Celtics.[18]

Robinson had a stellar rookie season as he averaged 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. In addition, second-year star Vin Baker continued to improve averaging 17.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, while Todd Day provided the team with 16.0 points per game, and led them with 163 three-point field goals, and Murdock contributed 13.0 points, 6.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Meanwhile, 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.[19]

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, Baker was selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game, as a member of the Eastern Conference All-Star team; it was his first ever All-Star appearance.[20][21][22] Meanwhile, Robinson was selected for the NBA Rookie Game, as a member of the White team; Robinson scored 21 points along with 3 steals, as the White team defeated the Green team in overtime, 83–79.[23][24][25] Robinson also finished in third place in Rookie of the Year voting, behind co-winners Grant Hill of the Detroit Pistons, and Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks.[26][27]

The Bucks finished 14th in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 670,720 at the Bradley Center during the regular season.[19][28] Following the season, Pinckney was left unprotected in the 1995 NBA expansion draft, where he was selected by the Toronto Raptors expansion team,[29][30][31] and Jon Barry signed as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors.[32][33]
