The Los Angeles Lakers, with this pick, could boast the LONGEST POSSIBLE Frontline - ever.
This man was amazing in his short career, and he and Olajuwon formed the vaunted Twin Towers.
Injuries shortened his career unfortunately, but while he played he was impactful. Not many had his skills, size, and athleticism:

Ralph Sampson!!
Imagine a possible lineup of Kareem, Ralph and KG at the SF? That can be doable in certain sets.
The Big 3 of the all-time "Bark worse than bite" team. 

.
If anything, I'll give Ralph and Hakeem much love for what they did to LA back in 85-85. I've watched clips of that WCF series, and he and Hakeem just controlled everything...one game they swatted 11 shots between them.
Kareem played out of his mind, too - he was a victim of a few Ralph swats.
This makes what Bird, Kevin, Chief and Bill Walton did to them back in 86 even more memorable, in that they contained those two.
What every owner has done with this draft is amazing, but I really believe that THOSE FOUR (Bird, Walton, Kevin and Chief) formed the best frontline EVER.
I just cringe when ESPN calls MIA "The Big Three", nowadays.
PUHLease!!
