Question: In the summer of 1984, the team's fortunes changed when it received the third pick of the NBA draft, the Blazers selected Samuel Paul Bowie, a former American professional basketball player, born on which date?
Context: Dorie S. Murrey (born September 7, 1943) is a retired American professional basketball player.  He was a 6'8" (2.03 m) 215 lb (97½ kg) forward and he played collegiately at the University of Detroit Mercy.  He has played in the NBA from 1966 to 1972.  He was originally selected with the second pick in the 2nd round of the 1966 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons.  He was taken in two expansion drafts.  In 1967 he was made available by the Pistons to be selected by the Seattle SuperSonics, and in 1970 he was made available by the Sonics to be selected by the Portland Trail Blazers.  He was traded 3 games into the 1970–71 season, on October 10, 1970, by the Trail Blazers to the Baltimore Bullets in exchange for a 1971 2nd round draft choice (Rick Fisher).  During his six-year NBA career Murrey averaged 4.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 357 career games. In the summer of 1984, the team's fortunes changed when it received the third pick of the NBA draft, after Houston and Portland.  The Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon, the Blazers selected Sam Bowie, and the Bulls picked shooting guard Michael Jordan out of the University of North Carolina. The 1970 NBA Expansion Draft was the fifth expansion draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The draft was held on May 11, 1970, so that the newly founded Buffalo Braves, Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers could acquire players for the upcoming 1970–71 season.  Buffalo, Cleveland and Portland had been awarded the expansion teams on February 6, 1970.  The Braves later underwent several name changes and relocations before moving to Los Angeles.  They are currently known as the Los Angeles Clippers.  In an NBA expansion draft, new NBA teams are allowed to acquire players from the previously established teams in the league.  Not all players on a given team are available during an expansion draft, since each team can protect a certain number of players from being selected.  In this draft, each of the fourteen other NBA teams had protected seven players from their roster.  After each round, where each of the expansion teams had selected one player each, the existing teams added another player to their protected list.  In the first round, the Braves had the first pick, while the Blazers and the Cavaliers had the second and the third pick respectively.  In the subsequent rounds, the Braves and the Cavaliers exchanged their order of selection, while the Blazers had the second pick throughout the draft.  The draft continued until all three teams had selected eleven unprotected players each, while the existing teams had lost two or three players each.

He has represented the Qatari national team in international competition.  He was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 57th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.  His draft rights were subsequently traded to the Portland Trail Blazers and then to the Minnesota Timberwolves.  He is the first Qatari national basketball player to be selected in the NBA Draft. Michael David "Mike" Holton (born August 4, 1961) is a retired American professional basketball player, and current television studio analyst for the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA.  Born in Seattle, Washington, he played college basketball at UCLA from 1979 to 1983, and was selected in the third round of the 1983 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, but began his NBA career with the Phoenix Suns in 1984–85.  Holton, a 6'4" 185 lb guard, also spent his career with the Chicago Bulls, Portland Trail Blazers, and Charlotte Hornets.  He also played in the CBA for four different teams in as many seasons from 1983 to 1992.  He started 60 games for the expansion Charlotte Hornets.  Holton briefly played for Great Taste Coffee in the Philippine Basketball Association. Antoine Domonick Wright (born February 6, 1984) is an American professional basketball player who last played for Rain or Shine Elasto Painters of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).  He attended preparatory school at Lawrence Academy at Groton; in 2002, he led the Spartans to an Independent School League Basketball Championship.  He was selected 15th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Nets (the highest pick from the Big 12 Conference that year and in Texas A&M University history until Acie Law was drafted 11th in the 2007 NBA Draft), after his junior year at Texas A&M University.  Wright played his first five seasons of professional basketball in the NBA.  He has since played overseas and in the NBA D-League. Samuel Paul Bowie (born March 17, 1961) is a former American professional basketball player.  A national sensation in high school and outstanding collegian, Bowie's professional promise was undermined by repeated injuries to his legs and feet.  In spite of the setbacks, the 7 ft and 235 lb center played ten seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 2015–16 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 77th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  It was also the second straight season that Joel Embiid, their third pick in the 2014 NBA draft, would not suit up for the 76ers due to a leg injury.  Philadelphia broke the record for the longest losing streak in American professional sports history with 27 straight losses over this season and last season with a 114–116 loss to the Houston Rockets.  The losing streak would reach to 28 games (with the 18 straight losses tying the record for longest opening season losing streak with the 2009–10 New Jersey Nets) before getting their first victory at home against the Los Angeles Lakers, which was also Kobe Bryant's last game against the 76ers in Philadelphia.  Philadelphia would also hire former Phoenix Suns owner, coach, general manager, and four-time NBA Executive of the Year winner Jerry Colangelo on December 7, 2015 as their Chairman of Basketball Operations.  Eleven days later, former Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni would join the team as an associate head coach.  Near the end of the season, general manager Sam Hinkie would announce his resignation from his position, being replaced by Jerry's son Bryan Colangelo before the end of the season.  Jerry would also announce his personal demotion from his original position afterwards.  They finished just one game shy of tying the NBA record for most losses in a season set by themselves during their 1972–73 season when they went 9–73.  However, it would be the season where Sam Hinkie's goal of "The Process" came into full fruition since they'd later earn the #1 selection in the 2016 NBA draft. Malcolm Moses Adams Brogdon (born December 11, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  He played college basketball for the Virginia Cavaliers under Tony Bennett.

He was selected in the second round of the 2016 NBA draft by the Bucks with the 36th overall pick.  He went on to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, becoming the first second-round pick in the NBA draft lottery era to do so.
