Question: How tall is the player that was selected first by the Portland Blazers in the 1984 draft?

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. <SEP> 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). <SEP> The 1984 NBA draft was the 37th annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  It was held at the Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, on June 19, 1984, before the 1984–85 season.  The draft was broadcast in the United States on the USA Network.  In this draft, 23 NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players.  The Houston Rockets won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the Portland Trail Blazers, who obtained the Indiana Pacers' first-round pick in a trade, were awarded the second pick.  The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.  The Cleveland Cavaliers were awarded an extra first-round draft pick as compensation for the draft picks traded away by their previous owner, Ted Stepien.  A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was automatically eligible for selection.  Before the draft, five college underclassmen announced that they would leave college early and would be eligible for selection.  Prior to the draft, the San Diego Clippers relocated to Los Angeles and became the Los Angeles Clippers.  The draft consisted of 10 rounds comprising the selection of 228 players.  This draft was the last to be held before the creation of the Draft Lottery in 1985.  It was also the first NBA Draft to be overseen by David Stern. <SEP> The 1970 NBA draft was the 24th annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The draft was held on March 23, 1970, before the 1970–71 season.  In this draft, 17 NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players.  A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection.  If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated.  The first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each division, with the order determined by a coin flip.  The Detroit Pistons won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the San Diego Rockets were awarded the second pick.  The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.  Three expansion franchises, the Buffalo Braves, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Portland Trail Blazers, took part in the NBA Draft for the first time and were assigned the seventh, the eighth and the ninth pick in each round.  In the first round, the Cavaliers had the seventh pick, while the Blazers and the Braves had the eighth and the ninth pick respectively.  In the subsequent rounds, the Cavaliers and the Braves exchanged their order of selection, while the Blazers had the eighth pick throughout the draft.  The draft consisted of 19 rounds comprising the selection of 239 players; it holds the record for the most prospects selected in any NBA draft.
