The 2005-06 Milwaukee Bucks season was a year of resurgence, as the team improved by ten wins from the previous season to finish with a 40-42 record. Highlighted by the arrival of first overall draft pick Andrew Bogut and the continued scoring brilliance of All-Star Michael Redd, the Bucks successfully returned to the postseason as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Despite a first-round exit against the top-seeded Detroit Pistons, the campaign was marked by competitive play and a high-powered offense that restored the franchise to playoff respectability. The first Australian to be selected first overall in the NBA Draft, Andrew Bogut was an elite defensive center for the Milwaukee Bucks who earned All-NBA Third Team honors and led the league in blocks before winning a championship with the Golden State Warriors.
