Primary interior offensive engine, Baker carried Milwaukee’s offense from the power-forward spot and became the team’s most dependable half-court scorer. The Bucks had little offensive support beyond Baker and Glenn Robinson, which explains both his career-high scoring workload and enormous 40.5-minute average. His second straight All-Star selection confirmed how highly the league viewed that production. Milwaukee Bucks season retrospective |

Primary wing scoring engine, Robinson was the other half of Milwaukee’s two-man offensive foundation. He was already being treated as a franchise-level investment after signing the league’s enormous rookie contract, and his ability to score from the wing while creating some offense for others made him much more than a pure scorer. He and Baker accounted for an enormous share of the Bucks’ offensive burden. Washington Post coverage of Robinson’s Milwaukee contract |

Veteran pick-and-roll organizer, Douglas became Milwaukee’s primary table-setter after arriving in the November trade with Boston. His job was to get Baker and Robinson into workable half-court possessions while still providing enough pull-up scoring to prevent defenses from loading completely toward the forwards. He started 62 games and led the roster in assists. Washington Post NBA season coverage |

Starting perimeter scoring complement, Newman supplied Milwaukee with veteran shooting and secondary creation around Baker and Robinson. His 37.7% three-point accuracy gave the offense a legitimate perimeter release valve, while his 32.8-minute workload shows he was trusted as a full-time starter rather than merely a veteran placeholder. Milwaukee had signed him to a three-year deal before the season. Milwaukee Bucks transaction history |

Starting rim-protecting center, Benjamin gave Milwaukee a true seven-footer behind the scoring frontcourt. The Bucks acquired him from Vancouver in November specifically as part of a reshaping of their interior rotation, and his 1.0 block per game helped provide some back-line resistance on a team that otherwise struggled defensively.

Veteran interior bench scorer, Cummings returned to Milwaukee in November and accepted a dramatically smaller role than the one he held during his first Bucks tenure. He started only 13 games but remained useful as a low-post scoring option and rebounder against second units. His presence gave a young roster an experienced offensive release valve without displacing Baker. Bucks history discussion of Cummings’ Milwaukee return |

Instant-offense guard reserve, Day was an aggressive scorer whose Milwaukee role disappeared after the November trade that brought Douglas to town. His shot volume could provide quick points, but the Bucks ultimately preferred Douglas’ organization at point guard and moved Day as part of that adjustment. His season therefore illustrates how quickly Milwaukee changed its backcourt hierarchy. Washington Post NBA coverage |

Emergency lead guard, Murdock had the ability to run an offense but became expendable once Milwaukee acquired Douglas.

Secondary ball-movement guard, Mayberry provided Milwaukee with a steadier change-of-pace option behind Douglas. His value was mostly organizational rather than scoring-driven, and he remained a reliable rotation piece through the entire season before leaving Milwaukee in free agency that summer. Contemporary independent coverage of his specific 1995-96 role was limited. Lee Mayberry career retrospective |

Stretch-oriented backup center, Conlon gave Milwaukee a mobile frontcourt option who could operate away from the paint more comfortably than a traditional reserve center. He appeared in 74 games and had already established himself as a useful Milwaukee rotation player after playing a career-high 82 games the previous season.

Perimeter shooting specialist, Respert entered the season as Milwaukee’s first-round investment but struggled to translate his college scoring reputation into a stable NBA role. His three-point shooting was useful in theory, yet the limited minutes and 34.4% accuracy from deep kept him behind the veteran perimeter options. Independent season-specific coverage was limited.

Veteran interior reserve, Lister’s season effectively ended with the November trade to Boston.

Milwaukee’s offense revolved around Baker and Robinson, with Douglas providing the lead-guard organization after his November arrival. The roster’s lack of defensive support around its two young stars remained a major weakness, and the Bucks finished 25-57. |
