5. Ray Allen (1996–2002)
One of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Allen’s smooth perimeter shooting and clutch performances made him a fan favorite. He averaged over 20 points per game during his Bucks tenure and was a key offensive weapon.

6. Bob Dandridge (1969–1977; 1981–1982)
Dandridge was a versatile forward who contributed significantly to the Bucks’ 1971 championship. A four-time All-Star, his scoring and defense were vital to Milwaukee’s success in the 1970s.

Johnson was a dynamic scorer and rebounder, earning five All-Star selections. His smooth offensive game and leadership helped keep the Bucks competitive in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

8. Terry Cummings (1982–1987)
Cummings was a powerful forward who averaged over 20 points and 8 rebounds per game during his Bucks career. His scoring ability and rebounding presence anchored the team’s frontcourt.

9. Michael Redd (2000–2011)
Redd was a prolific scorer and sharpshooter, averaging 21.7 points per game over his career. His clutch shooting made him one of the franchise’s most reliable offensive players.

10. Jrue Holiday (2013–2023)
Holiday’s defensive prowess and playmaking ability have been crucial in the Bucks’ recent championship runs. A multiple-time All-Defensive Team member, Holiday’s leadership and versatility have made him an indispensable part of the modern Bucks dynasty.
