It's not a matter of what you think, but what is true. Houston drafted Hakeem Olajuwon to play the power forward slot. It turned out that Olajuwon was more of a true center and Ralph Sampson's versatility (good or bad, in this case) gave Bill Fitch cause to play him more of a power forward slot, despite being 7-foot-4.
