Another draft where one player stands out among the rest. Michael Jordan was actually the third player chosen, after the Houston Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon and the Trail Blazers infamously opted for Sam Bowie, the Bulls picked Jordan, who led them to six NBA titles and changed the face of the league. Charles Barkley and John Stockton were also first rounders, joining other quality big men like Sam Perkins, Kevin Willis, Otis Thorpe and Jerome Kersey.
