Yes, and the Bulls wanted Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan. Here’s a link to a Chicago Tribune article from right after the draft (Bernie Lincicome).

Jack Ramsey (passed on Jordan to pick Bowie for Portland), explained it logically:
You always pick the big man [center] over a guard when building a team.
There is no way anyone could have foresaw how dominant Jordan would be from the shooting guard position (there have always been a ton of good shooting guards, not many good big men).
