By Phil Watson
1968-76. Jon McGlocklin. 25. player. 89. <strong>How acquired:</strong> Expansion draft, San Diego Rockets, May 6, 1968.. SG
Jon McGlocklin was an expansion draft selection two years in a row, with the Milwaukee Bucks taking the shooting guard from the San Diego Rockets in May 1968.
Things worked out pretty well for McGlocklin, who was an All-Star for the Bucks in 1969.
He was fourth in the NBA in field-goal percentage in 1969-70 and 1970-71 and was third in free-throw shooting in 1968-69, as well.
McGlocklin averaged 10.8 points, 2.8 assists and a rebound in 30.5 minutes per game, shooting 53.1 percent from the floor and 9-for-10 at the line as the Bucks swept the Baltimore Bullets in the 1971 NBA Finals.
He appeared in five games in the 1974 NBA Finals, averaging 6.4 points and three assists in 20.8 minutes per game while shooting 56 percent from the field and 4-for-6 at the foul line, but the Boston Celtics beat the Bucks in seven games.
McGlocklin was the last of the original expansion Bucks when he retired in September 1976.
In eight seasons in Milwaukee, McGlocklin averaged 12.6 points, 3.2 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 28.6 minutes per game, shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 86 percent at the line.
A third-round pick out of Indiana by the Cincinnati Royals in the 1965 NBA Draft, McGlocklin was chosen by the Rockets in the May 1967 expansion draft.
Founder of the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer) the night he retired, McGlocklin has been a mainstay on Bucks television broadcasts for more than 25 years.
